Stuart.C 491 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yes going to have to agree it's not Wollaton Hall, I'm assuming it's viewed from Woodthorpe flats 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 It's the City Hospital.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yes Den, I’m sure you’re correct, there are one or two tall buildings on the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I were only making a guess from Lizzie's earlier post 20 hours, which I assumed meant it was a great view from wilford crematorium. I was obviously looking in the wrong direction. (Still don't beat my living room view. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I can't remember what lots of buildings in that area look like, so I bow to all you Nottingham based people's superior knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don't think it's the city hospital, as I remember, the chimney at the city hospital doesn't have a white smoke band. And it's not as tall as the one in the picture, but the view could be deceptive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ‘wallpaper’ on my iPad and laptops is a view taken from Porchester Road looking over the city with a beautiful red sky at the far distance. Taken by my son a few weeks ago I love it. I don’t use any photo hosting sites so can’t share it but take my word for it, as a view of the City it is lovely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Gotta admit, I didn't expect a debate on the subject. It were just a basic query of Catfans picture. Not knowing where the worthy CF lives, I couldn't hazard a guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,143 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Don't want to know where CF lives, just where the picture was taken from. Begining to wish I never asked. I once took a night shot from up Porchester road, looking over a the lights of Nottingham. I thought it were bloody good. That must have been late 70s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Come on then, own up, who took this bloody picture and where is it. BKs going into meltdown! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Taken from Woodthorpe flats, you can see Elmswood gardens and the gable end of St Martins church. In the distance you can see 'Bendigos ring' at Bestwood. If you zoom in close you can see City Hospital and nurse Rached at the second window on the right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart.C 491 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Its the building on the corner of Hucknall rd / Haydn road, self storage and others now , but might have been Meridian originally 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,143 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Don't think it's that one Stuart, it's not far enough away and it's more square. I haven't a clue where CTs pic is taken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Stuart C hit it on the head, spot on. Chestnut Walk https://www.google.com/maps/@52.981613,-1.13704,3a,90.0y,137.32536h,132.3964t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s88Ia2wzZoKNdSMibi5diOQ!2e0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 This is getting out of hand. Then again, Catfan has put us in the picture, (if you'll pardon the pun). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 It's the best park in Nottingham... but then I'm biased as I was taken there most days in my pram, often played in the dell and on the swings etc when I was a bit bigger and had a great group of friends from Mapperley , Woodthorpe and Sherwood when I was a teenager.... we used to meet on Summer evenings in the park .... after I'd done my homework, as I was a good girl! One day, our ashes will be taken there, but not too soon I hope. Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
