Tim in the North East 200 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Below is a Photobucket link to an early 20th century postcard of 'Kneeton Hill, Hoveringham'. Now the hilly areas are more on the south side of the river - so this picture might be in Kneeton (on the south bank) - perhaps opposite Hoveringham (on the north bank). However, can anyone pinpoint exactly where the picture was taken - and dopes anyone know of the curent adress of the cottage shown on the picture. Cheers Tim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 200 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Attached is a link to a 1908 postcard showing 'Railway Bridge, Bridgeford' (sic) I think this will have carried the old Nottingham to Melton Mowbray line. However, is the bridge over (a) Radcliffe Rod, (b) Bridgford Road, © Albert Road or (d) Melton Road? It's not a quiz - I just can't work it out and having been over 40 years since I last lived in Nottingham memories begin to fade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Looks from this as if it could be Bridgford Road: http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NCCS001054&pos=173&action=zoom&id=47409 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I agree that it's Bridgford Road, but it's looking away from West Bridgford, towards Trent Bridge. (The road coming in on the left is the clue - there's no equivalent beyond the bridge). The PTP photo is looking towards WB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim in the North East 200 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes - the road comimg in from the left is Stratford Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BulwellBrian 107 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Looks like a Midland Railway 0-6-0 running tender first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim in the North East 200 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Until the early 1970s part of this building was the City's Central Library. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
