Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The NEP website have done another of those "ten photos from ......" again. This time they are from the 1950s and some of them I'd not seen before. http://www.nottinghampost.com/pictures/best-pictures-1950s-Nottingham/pictures-21013425-detail/pictures.html#1 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The last image of the residents clearing snow is exactly how I remember it at the back of Westdale Lane juniors playground where it over looked Digby Avenue . We were playing football on top of the hardpacked snow and the tennis ball we were using was being kicked through the hoops on top of the railings .That was all you could see above the snow .

Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Come on, Nottingham Post...let's have more please, many, many more.Ten photographs from each decade was like an appetiser. Had that, enjoyed it, where's the main course? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Some great photos there Cliff Ton. Thanks for sharing the link. I don't know if any of the members here use Facebook and if you do, whether or not any of you are a 'fan' of the Nottingham page but they have recently been sharing some brilliant images of old Nottingham. Can post a link or share the photos here for anyone who hasn't seen them let me know! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Melissa , to my (limited) knowledge there are at least 3 from this site that are on the Nottingham facebook site , well 4 including yourself . It's true they do have some good photos and often interesting links to Notts related stories on there . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Maybe we Facebook folk should start a thread for the non-Facebook folk to relay the info and pics for them? Just a thought! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 How far down Alfreton Road was that, or what now stands in its place? Looks a lot better then than it does now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 How far down Alfreton Road was that, or what now stands in its place? Looks a lot better then than it does now! Racking my brains I think it was on the opposite side of Alfreton Road to Forest Road and just a little further up towards Canning Circus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
