Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 At the bottom of King Street in the city centre a new cafe/restaurant has opened. It's called Bill's. I'd never heard of them before but they are a national chain http://bills-website.co.uk/ I'll bet the people who run the company don't realise they've now opened a branch of Bill's in the city where his mother lives. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Did I hear that Harry Ramsdens were to open a branch in the same building? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I hadn't heard about Harry Ramsden's but the Fopp music store - just up the road in the same block - may be pushed out to make way for another food place. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Future-Fopp-Nottingham-uncertain-barbecue/story-21300019-detail/story.html And there are still several empty units along that stretch of road.

MelissaJKelly 2,120 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Just looked at the menu. Looks lovely. May have to give it a try! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Trying to picture where this building is situated, is it below the old Post Office? I don't recognize it, it's a nice looking building, what did it used to be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yes, katyjay, you're correct. This is it before Bill moved in. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.954275,-1.149559,3a,75y,246.92h,90.87t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1shxtssmU6lzNzCy1C7-By-w!2e0?hl=en Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for that Cliff Ton, it's certainly changed around there, hardly recognized it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Apologies folk re #3, senior moments cutting in! It wasn't Harry Ramsdens,( think they've packed in,) but Georges that someone said had been interested in a unit in the old Post Office. If it's true, then there'll be both Bill and George vying for custom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 George's are very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Lots of memories in that building, I worked as a PO engineer in the 70's and that used to be our head office,I did a complicate electrical re fit there too. We used to park our vans down the yard at the rear entrance. The engineering department later moved to new premises on Little Tennis street, Daleside road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Things have changed quite a bit around there, but I think that yard/rear entrance was down this alley, if you can still recognise it. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.955001,-1.150888,3a,75y,144.35h,89.94t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sI9VLMk2gHbXiMKlKapGlBg!2e0?hl=en Quote Link to post Share on other sites
