paul miller 0 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi everyone, My name is Paul Miller and I live in Ilkeston, which of course is in Derbyshire. I can hear the shouts of "tar and feather him". I was Nottinghamshire born, and lived in Awsworth till I was 12. That was 56 years ago. My passion is , and always has been, Nottingham Victoria station, and I look forward to trawling through anything on this site about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ey Up Paul, welcome to the Forum, you'll find lots on here about Victoria Station, some very knowledgeable folk on here. Keep browsing and posting with your recollections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Welcome to Nottstalgia, Paul. I look forward to reading your posts and sharing your memories. If you like Victoria Station and the railways then there's plenty of pics and info to last you a lifetime. Being as it's the season of goodwill I think you'll be spared the tar and feathers...but it's best not to mention it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 As others have said, this place is full of Victoria Station (among other things). If you haven't already found it, we also have a pretend-Victoria Station. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11634&hl= Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Welcome Paul and have fun. As a teenager of the 60s and a complete lifetime railway nutter, Victoria Station was our Mecca. In fact given that the GCR was like a religion to some of us, Victoria station was the cathedral. My friend (also a member of this forum) used to spend a lot of time on Ilkeston Junction Station. Might be able to do it again after this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
