Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi there Eva Eagle & welcome to the forum In answer to your Question of ownership of the Ex GNR warehouses Have you tried "Rail Track"? You could try Nottingham City Council on a freedom of information request. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,479 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Up until around the early 90s, it was possible to drive along the road at the side of the warehouse and use it as a cut-through from London Road to Sneinton. The place was derelict, you had to drive around massive potholes, and there were weeds growing through the concrete, but the road hadn't been blocked off as it is now. Or take a closer look here. http://binged.it/19XcYrd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kendaldrac 40 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 In reply to previous question the site is still owned by Heathcote Holdings who were behind the failed plans for the Island site redevelopment. The council is currently looking at compulsory purchasing the site to push forward redevelopment and cleaning up the eyesore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I worked in W81 for a number of years alongside this lovely old building.. and witnessed constant vandalism and arson attacks. The pub Sam Fays/Grand Central Diner met the same fate.I went in with a mates van and filled it with railway goodies,including a GWR corner sink! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm sure I saw on the local news that this whole area behind the NHS Walk in Centre is now at las being redeveloped. About time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,479 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Don't hold your breath. Another development company has bought the site, but they might end up doing as much with it as the previous lot who lost interest. http://www.nottinghampost.com/hs2-toton-station-influenced-boots-island-development-decision/story-29924425-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 You're probably right Cliff. I fear it'll become even more of an eyesore over the forthcoming years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
