Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It looks as though that corner gets regularly bashed. On the current Streetview from May this year, the wall has obviously been rebuilt fairly recently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Young lunatics in their chavvy little hatchbacks. I bet half of them haven't passed their test, and most likely not insured either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Sounds about right FLY, esp since the cop shop nearby closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sorry about that Col that is one of my problems I don't read everything. One comment you suppose our man was looking at the railway I thought the railway would have been behind him? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 As I stated  earlier, the current tram / railway is DEFINITELY behind him. I pass there several times a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Location Unknown - Maybe someone can shed some light please  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not a location I recognise, but judging by the style of housing and the fact that the roads are dual-carriageway, at a random guess I'd say somewhere  around Beechdale / Bilborough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Gregory Street / Abbey Bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Gregory Street / Abbey Bridge. is not a dual-carriageway though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 It may have been in those days. Maybe the Fina filling station is a clue. I'm sure the one near the White Heart was Fina. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 My money is on Beechdale Road/Wigman Road but I can't remember a petrol station there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I agree with Malcolm and here's the evidence.  I reckon the bus is going up Beechdale Rd, and this is the scene today.  On Enigma's bus photo in the bottom right corner is a brick entrance post. That is still there today on the car park to the Beechdale.  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Definitely right Cliff Ton, the 'Special' bus could have been on it's way to the Beechdale bus depot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 thanks for identifying the location Cliff Ton - got another unknown location with this next bus photo  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Bicc in the background? Why is ther someone upstairs when it's running into depot? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 That is the corner I meant but obviously it isn't Wigman Road Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Catfan was right !  I looked in Old Telephone Directories and BICC were at 10 Newark Street, Sneinton. In the modern photo that's the road alongside the white building with narrow windows. The BICC depot was behind the new housing beyond the cars. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Nice shot Enigma,I notice beside the blue Variant that Vicki Fashions is still Baker & Plumb. The Golden Egg hasn't been built yet! Further on is the lovely Westminster Buildings, in which I borrowed several period toilet fixtures and fittings! The Hand Inn had two entrances like the Stage Door?..can't recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'd never seen that one before; this is what it became when the building work had finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
