AfferGorritt 868 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Went on a treasure hunt with grandkids and family on Sunday, and it was nice seeing them learn a bit about their city. I must admit I too learnt a bit, despite being Nottingham born and bred! I was playing with my old camera, so decided to take it along. Thought you might like to join the game .... where's this then. I'm sure these will be dead easy for you experts! We started here... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 This one's a bit obscure. A row of houses with some really ornate carvings above the doors. It's particulary relevant that she's playing a stringed instrument as one of these buildings was occupied, some years ago, by an "establishment" well into stringed instruments!

AfferGorritt 868 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’d never seen the memorial that depicts an officer calling on his men. So powerful. Pity it’s not in a more prominent position. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Excellent thread!!! Never seen the Playhouse mirror but sort of recognised the Albert Hall tower. Seen all of the others but time has diminished my acuity for placements. As plantfit says, proper Nottstalgia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
