Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Lower Parliament street photo taken after 1960 but before building work on The Victoria Centre was begun 1968 The building with Payne on it was demolished along with The Miltons Head Hotel at that time. I believe Burtons became a "Fine Fare" supermarket in later years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 That subject was featured in this thread only a few days ago http://nottstalgia.c...wtopic=2277&hl= 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 But now the subject has come up again, it reminded me of another shot of it - via the RCTS website - from the other side. Taken from the location of the old platforms of Victoria Station after the site had been cleared. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is bugging me. Where did Payne's move to after their place on Parliamnent Street was demolished? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 There were seven Paynes listed my directory of 1972 none of them sold "hardware". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 This 'un? You can just see Burtons/Fine Fare next door. And a close-up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yes but did they relocate or close completely after the demolition of the Parliament Street shop? The archway to the left was the entrance to St Stephen's church demolished when the Victoria Station was built. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

3_wheels 0 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 It's just I've got in my head that there was a "Payne's Tools" in Nottingham in the 1970s. Thinks ... was there a place on Clinton Street just down from the D&P??? I thought there was one on George Street. I just cannot remember the name, just remember it being double fronted.

Paulus 541 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I was employed as a pipe lagger, starting in the 60's, the skilled laggers used a 'laggers steels' which consisted of several pieces of flat spring steel about 12" x 2" (varying) used to smooth the wet insulation coating on the pipes. These were supplied on special order from Paynes Tools, although I had no idea where the shop was, it was certainly in Nottingham possibly near the Futurist in Basford????

I always used to look for the horse above the shop next to Payne's when walking along Parliament St. with my mum when a kid, there was a tobacco shop nearby I seem to remember..

poohbear 1,360 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I wondered when someone would mention that tobacconists...little single storey over the railway lines if I remember right.That horse was above a vets practice there in Victorian days.I wonder if that went to the Grosvenor on Mansfield Road...or was that one already there?
