It looks a bit like a run-round loop to me - no passengers on board and an exaggerated turn by the driver - as if it is going back the way it came.
-
Be even better if they brought real trolleybuses back. I miss them.

The photo is in a showroom somewhere in the USA

Interesting to speculate how a car like that appeared in Nottingham just after the war, with all the austerity etc.
-
To back up the theory of it being an American car, a model no-one in the UK has ever heard of - the Plymouth Cranbrook.
1. The chrome trim at the front doesn't extend to the door;
2. Chrome trim line over the rear wheel arch;
3. Chrome plate at the front of the rear wheel arch;
4. Rear bumpers wrap around
Cliff Ton you were almost right. In fact it is the 1949 two door Plymouth coupe model

At least Wales have picked a player from a Nottinghamshire team

I don't remember the road through the middle of the island like that. Was it removed when the trams disappeared?
-
Yes, the last few trains were on the Midland line - apart from the Austerity running past on the embankment, which was on the GN line from Bulwell Common towards Bestwood, on the opposite side of the road.

I suspect it is tongue in cheek - looking at feedback he made to others, he can speak perfectly good English

Just out of sheer ignorance, where does the Channel Tunnel fit into all this? The rails are all joined up with the rest of the network, I assume?

In the same vein as the Plymouth, here's the equivalent DeSoto
Trim seems to have changed every year on American cars, so whilst this is not an exact match the body shape is pretty well spot on.

Sorry Vauxhall supporters, but I'm not convinced. Here is an enhanced and enlarged image of the car in the photo, with a Vauxhall Wyvern underneath. I have scaled both images such that the overall height of the vehicle is the same in both images. My impression is that this makes the Wyvern a much shorter, more rounded and upright looking car than our mystery vehicle. The rear of the back side window is much more upright. The front quarterlight is different too. Also the bulge in front of the Wyvern's rear wheel is much further forward than the mystery car.
On that basis, the mystery car must be really quite large. As a wild guess, I wonder if it is American, as the styling is similar to products of the American Chrysler group in the late 1940s and early 1950s
-
Thanks for the car suggestions, but I now wonder if it is a Humber Super Snipe - a longer bonnet than the Hillman and less rounded than a Vauxhall.
It is very similar, but I'm not totally convinced.

Out of curiosity, what is the car on the left of that Marsdens photo?
-
I never saw the Colwick Road terminus when there were trolley buses, so wasn't sure - but I used the 44 terminus at Bulwell Hall quite regularly until around 1966.
-
What puzzles me is all the trees in the video. I don't remember any at the Bulwell Hall Terminus - or the canteen bus parked there
-
Doesn't look quite right for the Bulwell Hall terminus
-
EDIT looks like I am getting mixed up with the former hospital on Highbury Road, Bulwell - Sorry!
-
There must have been a maternity unit before 1994 - maybe it moved site when the new one was opened? My birth certificate definitely says Basford Hospital and my mum is sure it was a maternity unit.
-
Wasn't part of this a maternity unit at one time? Apparently, I was born there.
-
Macfisheries, Burtons the Tailors, Pork Farms also used to be very common at one time.

Midland station
in Pete's Nottingham Transport Forum
Posted
At some large stations like Trent, part of the upper floor of station buildings originally provided accommodation for catering staff who lived on site. Whether such facilities would be required in a large city where non-railway living accommodation was readily available, I don't know.
