Ayagorawiya? 4 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 So a nice easy question with a picture, and a new boy has to come in an solve it! Welcome Tony No picture this time, just a puzzle. You are in the Bell Inn Market Square, where you consume a goodly amount of the brown liquid. Upon leaving you find yourself in need of somewhere to sit down and rest. A victorian walled garden with lawn, flowerbeds and benches, away from the hustle and bustle of the city would be ideal? But where is the nearest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayagorawiya? 4 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 No Pic But the one you mention is of interest, There was a Murder case in the 1980's of which that area was connected, There are some caves there, where witchcraft was practiced. They still remain to this day. If you could get into the caves, you would probably still see the simbols. Any more offers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caladave 1 Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Would it be the garden behind the buildings on Chapel Bar just before the Library. I think you get to it next to the old Odeon and as always been one of Nottinghams best kept secrets. Cala Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayagorawiya? 4 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hello Cala & welcome Hah ! Solved by another New Member! Come on Ilko yer slippin lad :lol: Upon staggering from the front door of the Bell Inn, Turn left and make your way up towards the old Odeon. Youwill see an arched doorway. It's through there. Like an oasis in the city. These premises were owned, and might still be by The Thoroton Society. Thoroton Society Web Site Know any more gems like that one Cala?

caladave 1 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Thanks Ayagorawiya, but there are two similar ones in the Lace Market that are still there, one is called Bellargate Rest Garden just off Bellargate believe it or not and the other bigger one is between Woolpack Lane and Barkergate and is also a rest garden but I cannot find a name for it. Use to be the place to go in the late 60's for a bit of snogging when striking lucky at the Bowling Alley around the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 You can get into it - I've been there - through the Bromley House Library. http://www.bromleyhouse.org/ Unfortunately it's spoilt because it's completely overlooked by the new student place which is on the former Odeon site. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've been a member of Bromley house for just over a year now and try and get there two or three times a month, work permitting. You'll most probably find me in the Gallery area where pre 1970's fiction lives. Come and have a look if you haven't already done so, you will be entranced as I was...... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yes. A proper library. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 963 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I too joined Bromley House a year ago. My renewal has just come through and I intend to remain a member. It is not terribly expensive, less than the price of a decent coffee per week and well worth the fee. I joined primarily as I was involved in a project relating to the letters my paternal grandfather wrote home from France in WW1 and it was a calm pleasant convienient place to meet others involved and work. It is a wonderful place with many interesting books both ancient and modern. My maternal Grandmother was a librarian there from 1913 to 1919. The building is in the process of having some major repairs particularly to the roof. The staff are very helpfull and I would thoroughly recommend anyone considering joining to do so. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 963 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 That's my maternal Grandmother Ian. Miss Maud Ellis. She was one of the daughters of Samuel Ellis, bakers in Arnold, quite well known for their excellent cakes. She married Charles Edward Clarke when he returned from the war. I may have quoted the dates incorrectly from memory. I beleive there is a Kodak exhibition currently on in the attic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
