Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You can now live in the old, big Co-op. Part of it has been converted into apartments and they've just started to come on the market. The exterior photo shows the building from the Wollaton Street side. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-43926895.html I bet everyone here is wondering whether the art deco staircase has been retained. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You're right, I'd forgotten that ! So part of my first post can be ignored. Just look at the photos and imagine what it's like living with a view of a car park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 OK for yuppies, but I like my garden. Even in Basford it provides a little bit of a sanctuary and peacefulness . My mind clears of all horrible thoughts, and I become a different person. LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yes, that does sound reasonable. I could cope with that once a week !!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I had wondered how come I could hear music coming out of that building when I walk past it to work in the morning... Not a great spot. Upper Parliament Street opposite has become pretty scuzzy over the years and then there's the legions of the bewildered flocking into the city every Friday and Saturday night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,690 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 If you click on streetview in the link in CTs #1 post ,there's dozens and dozens of asian looking blokes hanging around , in what look like overalls or uniform , outside The Crown Plaza . Whats occurring ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Most likely a group who had been staying at the hotel, and waiting for their bus to pick them up. Just a guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Riddo 47 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah, but wasn't The Big Co-op a great store? Furniture, Fashion (after a fashion), Electricals, Chemists, Household Goods, all accessible from that great staircase that ran up the whole building to the Accounts Department at the top. The big surprise was the Grocery "supermarket" on the ground floor - talk about meeting all requirements! Nottingham's own Harrod's! 11-6-4-1-5, my mum's divi number. Do I qualify for a rent-free apartment? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Think Chek Whyte was involved with the flats ?..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,690 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Looks like it katyjay , must be a large concern that can pay the hotel bill for that lot , never mind the airfares ! Thought at first it might be a regular pick-up point for casual workers going veg picking or something similar but then noticed the uniforms . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Re # 14 , not bad going for someone twice declared bankrupt . I suppose his assets are all in the names of family members. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I seen some other properties for sale in the city, the other day, they are 5 storey houses that I think front onto Mansfield road, and at the rear they are on Huntingdon street, I think just below the Nags head, they are priced from £249,000. Is the location St anns, or the City centre, either way it seems a lot of money, and there is no decent view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,194 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Tis alot of money,and they wont be advertised as St.Anns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 It might be the posh part of St Anns... or the rough part of the city? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,194 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Think they will word it saying neither of those Mick,something along the lines of "Historic part of old nottingham" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Cliff ton, yes that is them, they must be taller at the back, I will try and get the sellers details tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
