taxi ray 170 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I was in the car park at Nottingham station today, so I had a wander up to the top floor, to see what the view was like, you can see a lot from up there. Looking down on the station from up there shows how big the station really is. It is also free to park for 30 minutes. You can also enter on foot from Queens road and use the lift. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Great photos, I especially like the one of the Station clock. On the pic looking towards the Lace Market, Halifax House is just peeping from behind St Mary's Church - friends of mine bought that building very cheap 25 to 30 years ago as a redundant lace factory. They turned the building into luxury apartments and still live in one of them. The views are lovely from up there, right across to the Trent Valley and Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station (not so lovely!). At the time of purchase there were few apartments in the Lace Market but now every building seems to have been converted. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Photo Opportunities are obviously the big thing today; the Evening Post have also done one by showing 10 photos from the 1960s, some of which I hadn't seen before. http://www.nottinghampost.com/pictures/best-pictures-1960s-Nottingham/pictures-20966646-detail/pictures.html#1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 When I was little we used to go for picnics by the river at Gunthorpe. Great memories! Thanks Michael. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I remember Gunthorpe. As kids we used to go for a drive down to the river near the Unicorn Hotel, a go on the swingboats, a walk along the bank to see the weir and if anything was going through the lock and then back for a pint for dad, a shandy for mum and Tizer and crisps or us kids. Simple pleasures and happy times. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
