Welcome, there's a few others from down your way on here.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of The Gables after 1952 as a place for Children and it doesn't appear in any articles re investigations into Nottingham Childrens Homes, although some homes are not mentioned on any lists due to ongoing current enquiries by the Police

The Gables, 43 Sherwood Rise, Nottingham Was previously the residence of Turney, of the Nottingham Leatherworks. (1917) https://secure.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/RollOfHonour/People/Details/31672 Was previously a Home for Maladjusted Boys, 1946 1952. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11206836 Is opposite Ebers Rd on the left before Djanogly, still called the Gables (43 to 53) and is a Retirement housing scheme.

Tried the Omni calculator, there's between 9.9m and 12.3m people in front of me in the queue. And an expected date of end of Feb beginning March (based on an average of 1m per week getting it) https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/vaccine-queue-uk

C-T, the above links to Jigsaw planet as previously listed, they work. I never thought of searching for Nottingham pictures. There's 82 although some not stricty Nottingham scenes; https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=search&q=nottingham

Carved in the wall March 1947, but surprisingly November 2000 is only around a foot below it, although it would be many millions of gallons to rise by that amount. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9385749,-1.1372078,3a,90y,286.63h,82.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZ-ZnCD-lK6wmgFZu0eBsrw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

As above, this is what happens when BBC 1 HD goes to the Regions. I assume BBC TV Nottingham studio hasn't been converted to H.D as it's possibly at risk of closure

The Cinema was at the rear of the shops where the car park / offices are now. The entrance to it was where the Car park entrance is now to the right of Giardino, vehicle access is off Parliament St where Pearsons back entrance used to be. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9546274,-1.1512201,3a,75y,240.41h,96.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s66iUStGyJp-jr2uXgTjaSw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9548126,-1.1523452,3a,90y,138.34h,93.92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHs37R8nNJcZYzsPaulkqjg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en

Well, the Committee has gone sat down and had a meeting. They consumed lots of tea and biscuits and mulled over the problem. Then someone had a Brianwave,, why don't we call the Victoria shopping Centre, Victoria Centre so that's what they're going to do. Then they all had another cup of tea and some biscuits and went on their way, happy that they haven't spent thousands on consultants to tell them the obvious. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/intu-branding-taken-down-victoria-4734056?fbclid=IwAR1Scyk9FcON8B3TS-dV4A

I'd have said the whole building excluding the Theatre as it is the shape of a Quadrant (ish) Although this map labels the whole frontage The Quadrant.

Where they cross further down the canal, Hooters is up on the left of the picture https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.946215,-1.1396975,3a,75y,310.65h,84.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxdXgI-xps66Nz1Xjhz7wlw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Canal towpath near Low level station. Gas pipes, that run down the towpath under the rail bridge up to the road bridge at Eastcroft and across the canal to London road and exactly to where ,, don't know. Probably from when Eastcroft gas works site was there and the North sea pipeline was joined into the network at that point. I spotted the pipes on Google the other week when looking at the bridge and towpath crossover, there are markers along the towpath showing the pipeline location.

Phil,, you may be looking at this the wrong way around, chicken and egg etc. It may be that the Vale has humidity / temperature etc that turns out is ideal for mould to propogate and the cheese producers discovered that, hence cheese making became popular there.

Similar view before the bushes were cut down to allow the Artist(s) room to paint. Note the shadow of the Google pedestrian camera, roll the image up and it shows a view down onto the camera person. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9379642,-1.1555005,3a,90y,65.28h,63.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAF1QipNXOi-_O_YNgSemECoOpDT1ZWdML4R48hisjnIB!2e10!7i5376!8i2688

Re Missing persons, total numbers were limited due to Covid restrictions, there were very few Ambassadors, the ones that were there represented several of the missing ones. No masks but everyone had a mark to stand on to ensure distancing.

Last seen threatening his Caddie with a Lawsuit if he doesn't get the score right.
