The NEP have done one of their 'old photo' features, this time showing the Meadows (mainly Arkwright Street) at various times in its life.

And the adverts don't get in the way too much.

That's a good link CT. I've been looking at postings about the Meadows for a while but yet to see anything around the ROF and Kingsmeadows Rd?

PP, there’s a Facebook page for the ROF.  I inadvertently joined it some time ago and haven’t worked out how to delete myself,  as I didn’t work there there’s nothing to interest me.  Check that out, you might see yourself. 

Edit:   The Facebook page is ‘Ex ROF Nottingham’

This partly covers that area. It's a video from 1986 showing a drive in to Nottingham starting at Clifton Bridge,  and going along Queens Drive past the ROF.
