John Player factory fire - Radford or Hyson Green?

To be fair it's not been a cigarette factory for over 40 years, I think the media like to use the word cigarettes & players as some dirty tag.

I took a few photos round the area when some buildings were being demolished around 2000.

This is looking up Player Street from Radford Boulevard; the building on the right is the one which burned (and was used as office units), and beyond the car you can see the continuation of the building which being demolished at that time.

This is how it looked from Alfreton Road after the part-demolition. The remaining building is the one which burned. The empty space in the foreground is now flats.

And this is the view from Player Street looking across at Alfreton Road. The empty space is now the same flats.
