BeeKay Was The Larkins filmed in Kent? Yes! Given the rural Kent backdrop was just as much a key part of the show as the Larkins themselves, the show could hardly neglect the Southern county. However, the show did not reuse Buss Farm in Pluckley, which was of course the iconic home farm used in the original Darling Buds of May – instead the series was filmed on a different Kent farm, which has not been identified. Production then moved to the surrounding areas of Kent for scenes that were not farm-related, including the villages of Underriver, Eynsford and West Peckham

I remember the original with David Kossoff. (Larkins) And watched the remake with David Jason. (Darling Buds of May) Caught half of last nights and the Darling Buds of May was referenced, so Larkins / Darling Buds of May must go hand in hand.

I'd seen the photos in the past but unsure where. I Googled Players Sherwood rise and in one of the results spotted this text and clicked on the link; https://www.facebook.com/nottinghamhiddenhistoryteam/photos/a.1182002901815974/3531346806881560/?comment_id=3531411170208457 There was another photo there which I've also seen before Photo Credit : Stephen Mayes

Same as above.

Here's an advert relating to Wells Rd but I can't see any date on it or the PDF linked on the advert. https://www.marriotts.net/property/details/the-wells-road A bit of concrete should been enough to preserve the planning. My Son owns a farm with planning for development of the outbuildings, all we had to do there, with agreement from the Planning Officer was to lift up the stone floor in one and remove the timber upper floor in another.

This is it I believe, or rather bits of it. 2nd photo by Robert Lee, guessing the first one is as well. (not from nottstalgia)

I'm sure there's photos of it on here somewhere from a previous thread.

On a plan attached to the planning application for the flats, the land shows as a Crane Depot from 1968. On a 1978 plan it's just a Depot. On a plan dated 1966 it appears to be the original garden? layout with no buildings shown. Planning for the flats lapsed in 2020, unless someone has done some work to consider the development started. The planned flats sit above a parking area.

Looks like it was the garden for the house / shop on Woodborough Rd in 1938. https://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EPW057127

I only ever remember it as a sunken car park with a modernish building on it in the 70's/ 80's. May have been Don Greenwood Cardboard boxes, (same D.G as the founder of the Private Hire car company.) Looks like Google managed to go in there by mistake; https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9802474,-1.1306051,3a,75y,332.21h,79.45t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4UEmDltktDH5A2CXcBkPqQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Lambley Lane has now re-opened , via a short section of the Gedling access road;

That's the arguement they keep giving, to free up conventional houses for families. An extract from the Planning statement from the larger of the 2 developments, on the old Post Office Parcel site; There is an unequivocal need for purpose-built student accommodation in Nottingham Providing modern, high-quality PBSA on site will support the fulfilment of an identified capacity need, enhance student experience in the City, have wide reaching benefits for the community through the residency of students and free-up family housing elsewhere in the City, currently used as ‘Other Re

Don't worry Mr Engineer, there's over 700 student flats being proposed at the bottom of St Ann's Well Road / Cowen St / Bath St / Brook St. Plus hundreds more around the City.

Proposals for the previously mentioned site.

Showing video of empty shelves should be banned, or on a D Notice if they still exist, especially when they're currently showing the empty aisle in a Sainsburys from the start of Covid.

I'm not against going to 100% vegetable food if that's what it has to be, but in all the shouting about it people are doing I've not seen any proposals, let alone realistic proposals as to where all these millions of tons of vegetables are going to be grown or however much it needs to be to feed 100% of the population. A good proportion of farmland is too hilly to use or too wet or too dry or at risk of flooding. What happens when we get hot summers or cold winters or wet either, as apparently that's what's coming. Is the plan to concrete over existing level farmla

I remember someone at work in the 1980's convincing our Engineering Manager that as at the time we were working on newly installed computer controlled equipment buying us a Sinclair ZX81 computer would enhance our knowledge. I'm not certain it did for all, that but what it did do was pass some of the time on the nightshift. Thankyou Clive for producing the ZX81 (and all the other products he developed) and also the person who did the convincing.

I predict there may be up to 55041 claims for a partial refund if the entrance fee is lowered.

From the link below, it looks like some of the mens names were from Thomas Birkin's Son's. Perhaps other names have a Lace connection. http://www.nottsheritagegateway.org.uk/places/forestfields.htm The naming of some of the streets showed clearly the influence of Thomas Isaac Birkin. His sons were Thomas Stanley (Stanley Road), Alexander Russell (Russell Road) and Richard Leslie (Leslie Road). A Wilfred Road, named after another son, Charles Wilfred, was intended but not built. Gladstone Street and Ewart Road may also have a Birkin connection as he was President

From Traffweb the numbering looks like the houses are possibly addressed as Brightmoor Court or even Brightmoor St. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9545022,-1.1423438,3a,60y,138.17h,85.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIx2Q3JA7I9VKxC5y8jScLQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Bet it's fun for Couriers, no where to park and no certainty on what house / flat is where. Post-persons won't have a problems tho. And from Britain Above 1937, using that corner house as a reference it looks like no, 22 Quaser, formerly tyre sales may have been developed over the cellars of the remaining houses.

This is from the DEFRA Historic landfill records, Red hatch shows filled area, there may be more data on the site but I haven't fully explored it yet. https://environment.data.gov.uk/DefraDataDownload/?mapService=EA/HistoricLandfill&Mode=spatial

Notts and Derbys became the Sherwood Foresters, but it looks like a complex early name history so records may be confusing,.

There's a lot more to the story than the deaths and Landlord being fined. I've not managed to find any reliable info on the Internet to back up what I remember so I won't be posting it. The original planning approval for the 10 units was 2010 and it was for sale a while after.
