Fantastic picture! Being not "In the know ' any ideas on the Cathedral on the left? What would be the purpose of the "Box' between to the two fine ladies?

Willow wilson 556 Report post Posted March 12 My guess is that it's on North Circus street opposite Albert Hall and facing Derby road (going left to right across the picture where the horse is). The east end of Nottingham St Barnabas Cathedral on the left behind the wall. Those buildings across Derby Rd were all demolished when Tollhouse Hill was developed. The buildings far in the distance were demolished when Wollaton st was developed. The kiosk; there is a modern phone kiosk there now. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 3,088 Report post Posted March 12 Looked at the box with a glass, it looks to be an early phone box 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,297 Report post Posted March 12 Yes, certainly looks like one but it appears very basic. As said, there has always been a box at that location. Phone boxes had started to appear around the town centre before the war but were usually bigger and had a telephone sign above. I wonder if that particular one might have been for police use at that time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 556 Report post Posted March 12 This is a kiosk which looks similar. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,297 Report post Posted March 12 Yes Willow, that's a later version than the North Circus St one and a great close-up. That particular one in front of the public bogs would soon be joined by a second one next to it. I'm a bit intrigued by the window signs which show a bell, looks like the South Western Bell logo but I think must be a coincidence. Edit.. yes realised it would be the National Telephone Company logo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The incline of the road duped me..first I thought Pelham St..then somewhere off Mansfield Road..both obviously no no's! The incline between Derby Rd & Wollaton St is spot on.. I have no recall of Wollaton St this high up..other than a mismatch of buildings circa 1980's..and a few long forgotten shops..would this road have been similar to Derby Rd at one time?
