I’ll try to find it and post. Here you are Loppy, the concrete monster is further away than I remember on the photo. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Good picture, Lizzie. I'm just wondering from the angle if it could have been taken in the fields along the road to Stoke Bardolph. The rise of the background to the right of the picture reminds me of the rise up to Colwick woods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe you’re right on location Loppy, can’t think there would have been a field like that in any other direction from Netherfield and we were taken down to the river quite a lot ...... a country walk away from the dullness of Netherfield! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm not sure if this will help locate the photo or make things more confusing. This is a modern map of the area and the red cross is where the 'concrete monster' (the coaling plant in Colwick Yard) was situated. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks CliffTon. That makes sense then Loppy, we were standing somewhere between Netherfield and Stoke Bardolf and Colwick Woods are in the distance. Well done! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes, it helps a bit CT. I'm thinking Stoke Lane would be just a bit further out than the map shows. The area I'm thinking of would be an area of fields and sewage ponds that would be on the extreme right of the map if it went out that far. Edited to change left of map to right. I don't even know me left from me right. Lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The dark haired one on the left Beekay. I wouldn’t be seen dead with a ribbon as big as my friend’s!! All little girls had ribbons in their hair in the 50s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hope you didn't mind me working on your PIC. Cropped it, sharpened and enhanced it, then put a vignette on. I will remove it from my tablet if you wish. B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ooooh, I think we're approaching dangerous ground here, if one member can alter another members picture. It could have all sorts of implications. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I didn't alter it , Fly, I just improved it. I WOULD NEVER ALTER ANYBODY'S PICTURE WITHOUT THEIR EXPRESS PERMISSION OR REQUEST. I have updated loads of old pix , family photos etc. at the request of owners. Usually very old photos that are worn, ripped, faded etc. I did ask if Lizzie minded and said I will remove from my tablet. I don't doctor pix. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The very thing that the pic was posted for is now missing. Surely that should have been retained. Also, in view of recent events on NS, regarding plagiarism and copyright, it could be deemed a mite risky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oh give over FLY. You’re not serious surely. I don’t mind what Beekay has done to the photo, it’s a technique that I’ve seen done on many Facebook photos that have been posted. Not a problem and thank you for improving the photo Beekay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It has a real yearning in the words which really appealed to the teenage Margie with all her life ahead of her...... I'm pretty sure the song is called " Dreamin' ", sung by Johnny Tillotson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Dreamin was sung by Johnny Burnette first record i brought was "Poetry in Motion" by Jonny Tillotson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 So sorry Mary, you are of course dead right !! Don't know my Burns from my Tills. Sincere apologies to all parties, ( you too Margie ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
