Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Trawling around the net I found this old postcard/photo. First assumption is that it's the Carlton to the east of Nottingham, but I've looked at old maps and can't place it. So maybe it's Carlton in Lindrick, or Carlton on Trent ? or some other Carlton. There's a pub sign on the right which has been scratched out on the original, which would have been the best help with location. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Looking at the pub sign it looks like it could say "The Fox Inn" ? There is a Fox Inn at Carlton in Bedfordshire ( which I've never heard of). Hard to relate it to modern pics though unless the pub is to the right out of shot ? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 You solved it That's the one, and looking at Streetview it's clear. The top view shows the pub still there, and moving further along the chimneys are still the same. So it's nowt to do with Nottingham at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Crikey even the sign is still in about the same place ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 So where is it then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 There is a Fox Inn at Carlton in Bedfordshire ( which I've never heard of). DAVIDW came up with the answer in his first post. It's on High Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well done on your research David, and thanks CliffTon for giving us the picture to ponder over. I have been racking my brains all morning trying to locate it in my memory. Needless to say I had no luck. I almost convinced myself it was the Carlton I knew long ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't think Carlton, Nottingham ever looked that rustic, Carni. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
