  22. Demolished Memories

    in General Chat about Nottingham

    Posted

    For me some of the buildings now gone that I remember are the Victoria Station - Trinity Church opposite the station - Black Boy Hotel - County Hotel and of course the Empire Theatre where I remember as a child seeing Peter Brough with Archie Andrews among others. Also near the castle Granby street with the bus station. The road was of course widened and became Maid Marion Way.
