Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Pity they aren't a bit bigger. Some of those I've never seen before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 You can't see the arrows and the 'View Gallery' doo dah in the middle of the pic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 27 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Interesting photographs but some have been around before. Works all right for me. Kind regards, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Nice pics....Any chance of an old street map so these can be located A bit difficult because the scale would have to be big enough to cover the area, but small enough to get the detail of the terraces and passages.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Bubblewrap, I did try clicking on the individual photos...Nada, nothing, doesn't work in Firefox. I'll probably try accessing it with IE later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 just a street layout would be handy This might be useful for nostalgia not just in this thread. The Medders in the early 60s. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Quite a few pictures I've never seen. I was especially interested in picture 2, Allport St leading to Hartford St - I was born at 44 Hartford St, my parents ran a shop, but moved when I was two years old. Looking at an OS map, I can see individual properties. I wonder if anyone knows if the numbers were even on the south side, if so, it looks like the larger white window visible on the right might have been No 44. If not it must have been opposite, on the Hartford/Allport St corner. On picture 4, Clyde Terrace, my gran's house is just visible on the edge. We used to hop over the wall on to the rec.

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Doesn't work in IE either...Odd!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hartford st even numbers were on the north side, a mate of mine lived at no 14. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks denshaw, I must have been born on the corner then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I lived on Kings Meadow Road in the early 70s, it was next door to a chip shop, roughly at the end of Hawthorn street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ayup I have a similar problem, managed two pics only. I put it down to the Post web site IMO a waste of space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Glad it's not just me, I have had problems with that site in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I couldn't open it either - pity cos I would love to see them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 For those who can't see the photos from the link, try this approach. (I can't guarantee it will work, but......) Go to the Evening Post website http://www.nottinghampost.com/ When you are there, in the 'Search' box at the top right corner put 'Memories of the Meadows'. The results will give you the piece with the photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Thank you Cliff, I viewed that link.The wash house photo got me thinking, even though we used Bath st.they were identical. Those driers were such a piece of amazing technology.. a narrow door like a foot locker,pull it out on its iron wheels,fill the racks and push it back- flush to the wall..hey presto! everything dry in jig time,great community spirit and for women to come together.. even though it was a heavy chore.The female network here is very poor. Shame they got rid..blokes would be in there to,in today's age..a good cheap way to do a weeks washing, a natter and a brew!! What's not to like?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 A brew!! I know what you and catfan would be drinking if you were in there, Ian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 The creases would be a little..wonky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
