Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Daybrook Square in the 1920s. Mansfield Road going off to the left and the road into Arnold on the right. The Morley factory in the centre of the picture is still there but has been turned into apartments. Some of the earlier pictures.

TBI 2,351 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Another great picture. No Home Ales Brewery at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 The old brewery can be seen. The new building, which remains, was built fronting Mansfield Rd. In 1936. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Also on the photo you can just make out the Nottingham Suburban railway going off on the right. Is that a tram at the road junction? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Love these photos from above, Cliff Ton, don't suppose you have anything with Mapperley/Woodthorpe/Carlton ? Would be good to see my old haunts, homes etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Also on the photo you can just make out the Nottingham Suburban railway going off on the right. Is that a tram at the road junction? I'd say that's a tram......and what looks like a single-deck bus further behind. This is as much as you can see of the Suburban railway branching off. Upper line to Daybrook, lower line through Woodthorpe to Sherwood. And it's still a double line - something which didn't last very long. And you can also see the culverted Day Brook going under the embankment (which is still there today) Love these photos from above, Cliff Ton, don't suppose you have anything with Mapperley/Woodthorpe/Carlton ? Would be good to see my old haunts, homes etc. Unfortunately I'm limited to wherever Britain from Above sent their plane. I'll have another close look to see if those areas appear. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
