mick2me #18, absolutely right, i do this when watching movies, always have since Saturday Night & Sunday Morning. with the photo's i look for buildings no longer around, fashion, type of clothes worn in the period shown, bus route numbers, peoples faces do i know anyone. Photos on this site, (relating to Notts mainly), are brilliant & the people who take the effort and time to place them on, well THANK You all.

i am not a great one for pressing like button, i apologize for that, the members who put the effort into photo and story lines on this site are invaluable, perhaps some, like myself, have lost so much of nottingham from their past, and a lot of that past they did not know, quite a few of the photo's i have seen on site have jogged my memory and been very important to me. Please do not stop putting these treasures of our lost past, (buildings, vehicles, steam engines, people)on view, i do not personally know you but my thanks to you all is immeasurable, perhaps a bit over the top, but it is how i feel, again many many thanks for the site, the pictures but mainly the members, god bless all of you, THANK YOU.

always found it fascinating how main roads became main roads i mean mostly they derived from old dusty tracks like Canning Circus, Derby Rd, Alfreton Road & Ilkeston Rd. were just said tracks leading to what is now Canning Circus but years ago the area in front of the alms houses was were they buried suicide victims. so when driving over Canning Circus please think of the poor souls, often when in different towns i try to imagine what the roads would have looked like and been used for

i wonder, living in Eastwood, near to giltbrook, and interested in Pentrich, also dad coming from Carrington, and knowing about the revolutionaries marching from Pentrich to Carrington to damage the machines, also the Dragoons stopping them at giltbrook, i wonder if they came from these barracks, Dragoons were stationed there, adding another link from Pentrich, Eastwood, (The Sun), Giltbrook, Carrington, The Park Nottingham together, if you get me.

http://www.lentontimes.co.uk/images/gallery/barrack_lane/barrack_lane_listener_21.htm, i used to live on Barrack Lane, in the Park off Derby Rd. Never realised an old army barracks was situated on the left side halfway up the lane, it would have been just opposite of my bedsit, i am reading a book, at the moment called The Road to Waterloo, by Jacqueline Elliot. Explains about marching from Lutterworth to the barracks, wonder if anyone on site knows about this.

Cliffton #255 Argylle ST. last house on right was my great Aunt Dades house, we used to go there in the 50s for a cuppa when shopping down Denman ST. she was never in but always left a teapot, milk, sugar and plate of sponge cake on table, note saying help yourself, she never locked front door, never had nothing to steal, dearly missed
