philmayfield 6,130 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Bulwell Adelphi. I spoke to the manager there many years ago when they were one of our audit clients of the Levin Cinema Group. He said when they had a pop group concert there the place was filled with young girls and there wasn’t a dry seat in the house! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 370 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Where exactly was Bulwell Hall Cottage located, please. Fascinating architecture! I guess it must have been in view of the Hall itself to be so ornate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,016 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 It looks like there was a fire or another incident at Victoria Hotel as the ladder on the left appears to be a 100ft turntable ladder and on the right a 50ft escape ladder, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,416 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 The conductor looks like he has a pole used to reconnect a trolley bus to the overhead wire and there is some gubbins on the roof, but it has an engine? As far as I know trolley busses never went Nottingham to Ripley so what was he doing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know trolley busses never went Nottingham to Ripley so what was he doing? Notts & Derby trolleybuses did go from Nottingham to Ripley - they replaced trams. Some trolleybuses did look like this, rather than the full, flat front style. I suggest the trolleybus has been diverted off Mansfield Road by the emergency seen in the background and may be about to run on batteries to get around the obstruction? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brownhills moved into the caravan and motor home business. They used to be on a site next to Newark Marina and then they moved onto the old army depot site at the A1/A46 roundabout junction. The sold out some years ago but still trade under the Brownhills name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
