Dr Killinski's (yep spelling) take a left at the porn shop. Imposing place, front door black, and below street level?.. Through the door.. Doctor first left, waiting room directly ahead, gas fire on full bore, patient's sat on wooden chairs... magazines in the bottom right corner. The overriding memory I have is the smell of disinfectant, and the staircase to upstairs, first right after.going through the door...scary for a five year old. When seeing Killinski, I remember he always wore a suit, including waistcoat, sat behind a big desk, double chin and small

Thanks for the info Phil, work party deployed, are glass fragments set in concrete still legal?

I dislike the assumption that everybody is internet savvy, at least go to the trouble of blurring plates, door numbers etc before posting on a OPEN forum. I would never take a picture without permission in this scenario, it's selfish and a damn cheek! Lizzie, the fact that you would never apologise...I wasn't looking for one.. hint's that you might think twice in future. Not getting on my high horse or looking for a moan..just what I consider to be a sensible observation.

Radford Red..Last time I looked (only online) it was renamed the 'The Boulevard', left in disgust! Does the statue still remain?

Hi Trev, that statues gone, renamed the Pub & removed the statue.. Only know this through Google earth... Do you remember Doctor Killinski's, Boots and the Police Station, think there was also three churches on the that tiny Hermitage..

People who assume they can post your address, & number plate, as they drive by..just because you have a few interesting vehicles, best to hide your stuff behind electric gates....

Obviously have no respect for people's personal space and privacy.. Without a confirmation from the original picture taker can't confirm weather the householder approves...

That's where Bendigo's buried, a very weathered Lion Tomb., even the last time I visited..in 1996..St Mary's burial ground number 4 on Bath St. Introduces a question, if I remember correctly the Bath St Burial ground closed roughly 1904, what replaced it?

Re..Last photoI, assume you got permission to take the photograph and post on a open forum?

Agreed, should have two! what happened to the one on the pub?

Another couple I recall, Junior Wells Blues Band downstairs at the Palais definitely circa 91-92. A guy who's name escapes me at present, played at the Arboretum about '96, think he may have also been a former member of the Muddy Waters band but with a much lower profile than Junior.

Classic example of what lights your candle, seen Richard Thompson over 30 time's, always superb! The 'electronic' album 2014 was a 'return to form'. Only time I saw him in Nott's was at the Royal Centre about'94. Agreed, Denny & Thompson are the best period.. Anybody attend the Fairport Convention, Convention..was at Rock City about '81 Broadcast live with John Shaw on Radio Trent. There were at least two of these, won free tickets to the First..

the best piece of graffiti on the news tonight, written on a bed sheet in Oxford.. Collonial....

Interesting observation, I always liked what my parents listened to musically as a youngster. Guitar oriented blues & Jazz Remember thinking when aged late Twenties..well what now..thing is you always found something new. Currently listening to alot of lo-fi early rockabilly..passion and poke!

Regarding the Hammond gig,,, about a month later Chicago Bluesman Fenton Robinson played the Old Vic....pick up band London W4! packed solid for Hammond.. Turn out for Fenton roughly numbered 60!" Both gigs promoted by the Nottingham Blues Society..

Hi Billy24, been a few years but you could access some trade directories on the Ancestry website, found things relative to me 1840 to 1890, always struggled with things online 1930 plus...

The aerial picture Thanks, This pic is really interesting.. firstly there is no open market space, guessing the pic is early twenties, the archways I remember are just before the rounded corner on the left Manvers St, ( this picture view) they were still there in the early nineties. Great pic, with cart, toilet, girl circa 1890 for comparison. Pic here is inconclusive regarding this, My theory that some of the buildings on Southwell Rd look older than the bus station hangs true I'm thinking..

Somewhat taken the wind out of what I am now posting Peveral Peril,.. Remember playing in the woods, having a robust time, got some wood which I made a bow an arrows from. Coloured in with felt tips to give it an authentic vibe! AG, you are correct about the well kept grass near the spring, that area seemed very Tranquil to me, compared to the hustle & Bustle of the forest, The trees overhang the grass and path, Tranquil until a train came along!

Not Journo's, they are pap"s..big difference.. Iv'e been eyesorelating since March 7th!

No need to apologise AG, just me being thick! I have no living memory of how the railways once dominated the landscape, intresting how the racecourse had its own staton..love to see a picture! Well chuffed with remembering the 'water feature' think this was where the wooden sleepers were that my memory has confused with the gate onto the railway. Also regarding the 'spring', I also remember drinking the water! Is it still possible to walk through the woods? top path down the bank to the the bottom path and what was the gate to Colwick Rd? .

Thanks Mary1947, enjoyed the quiz, got about 14 correct, would have been about 9 prior to joining this site however. Wasn't Tommy Lawton renowned for his heading ability? certainly gave me a headache, that one!

Thanks Stuart, always enjoyed these old to new comparisons As well as the bank, the building on the extreme right looks like it could still be there also. Love to know what's written on the walls of the old shop on the left.. Called Holmes, All Colours? Is the best I can do with my zoom/diction! capabilities!

Regarding the unused space, was it formally occupied by the bridge that went over Colwick Rd, seems very feasible, no idea when it was demolished.

AG, your map left me somewhat baffled, I'm I right in thinking the railway ran directly in front of the racecourse? Where would the railwaymans house be, in between the two arrows? Why was that area referred to as the icehouse? Off for a couple of paracetamol!

Thanks Cliffton, Think it was the Ginger Tom, then something else, one word, but not the Starting Gate that was roughly 7f from the winning line. Beekay, you described the kissing gate (thanks Jill, never heard that before) perfectly as I remember it, looking at Google it's no longer there!
