benjamin1945 16,160 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 The best view of Nottingham I always remember was when I lived in Cambridgshire,used to come back thru Melton Mowbary on the A606 and at the top of that big hill I think before Ab Kettleby,you could see Nottingham on a clear day about 10 miles away and it always gave my heart a lift to see smoke rising,(twas in the 70s when you still could) and when I got to Clifton bridge I used to open the windows and smell it,...........wonderful I was home where my heart was,.............then Mam and Dad Aunts and Uncles and 'ey up duck lovely to see ya'.................aah, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 371 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 If we are heading out of town, then another good viewing point of the city is north of Hucknall - either on the main road south of Annesley (if you are lazy) or the top of Misk Hill, just above Misk Farm (f you are feeling fit) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 A viewpoint which may not be there for much longer is the car park on the roof of Regina House, Queen's Bridge Road. .  The place also has its own thread.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 200 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 In the late 1960s, when I was still at school, you could join the library of what was then the Regional College of Technology (now Nottingham Trent University) which was located on the top floor of the Newton Building. You could get great views to the east and west from the library itself and to the North and South from the stair lobbies. I suspect you have to be a student now to get access. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 200 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 If ever you take a trip on a BA flight from Newcastle to Heathrow on a clear day you can get stunning views of Nottingham from 28000 feet 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fogrider 179 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Re posts 3 and 9, from Google satellite maps this appears to be Corporation Oaks at the top of St Anns Hill. Walk up Elm Avenue and you're there. Comes up on the satellite maps easy, I suspect trees spoil the view now. I lived up Mapperley Rd for a while and was not aware of Elm Ave or Corporation Oaks which, I guess, is on top of the reservoir.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Again, looking in the opposite direction from the top of Toton Bank overlooking the railway depot. You can see Stapleford and Sandiacre. Looking south west, you can see the radar tower at East Midlands Airport and directly south, Ratcliffe on Soar power station, and into Leicestershire.

Waddo 921 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 in the 80s, we had a good view from the top of Eastcroft chimney!!.That might be classed as cheating though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,419 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 It's a funny thing abut views. Someone once commented that people go to high places in order to use binoculars to see thing that are back on the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Would that be Wollaton hall Catfan? Just to the left of centre, near the horizon. Or could it be the castle? Just trying to get my bearings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Not sure BK, my eyes aint that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 On reflection, it could even be Queens Med. (Purely a guess). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just trying to get my bearings.  Assuming that's Elmswood Gardens in the foreground then that is Wollaton Hall, 4miles (6.4km new money) in the distance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 It looks a bit too square to be Wollaton hall Stuart, so not knowing where the picture was taken, I can't really say. The more I enlarge it, the less detail is there. Still a very nice shot though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I think it’s too close to be Wollaton Hall and there’s not enough parkland sounding that building.  HMP Nottingham in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,150 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Surely that's even further away, assuming hmp is still at Perry rd. Nkt only that, but hmp is on top of a hill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 BK it all depends on where you think the building is, from which the photo was taken!  I think it's vaguely looking west so, as Lizzie says, It could be HMP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
