Bip 88 Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Looks like this one has slipped the net....my guess would be 1936 leyland traveller..exclusive...2.0lr Hdi with leather interior.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Looks like a pre-war Leyland Tiger with Duple bodywork. That said there seems to be an office block in the background which looks decidedly post-war. My guess is that this a photo of a bus up for sale. I'll get my anorak.

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I could make out the word Duple on the side? You might be right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Looks like the end of the line for the old Barton's bus depot & quite a few other building around it on Huntington Street? http://publicaccess.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/online-applications/caseDetails.do?caseType=Application&keyVal=PTSOPGLYJ6I00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 483 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Did you read what the plan is? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,531 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 My first thought was 'I bet they won't let the be demolished as it is is Art Deco' . I guess re-locating it might be OK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Bartons designed by H.Hardwick Dawson 1938. Looks like they want to knock these down as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,085 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 If they can take apart the old London Bridge, number every stone, ship it across the Atlantic and re-assemble it in the desert of Arizona, taking this building down and putting it back together a few miles away, will be a doddle!

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Nottingham has past form in that area. What used to be Severns building was moved from Middle Pavement to near the Castle, and for a while was the Lace Centre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 483 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So what's it's all going to be replaced by. Student flats with Shops under or Shops with Student flats above?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Why is it that most councils think it's a good idea to demolish beautiful old buildings and replace them with grotesque buildings which then lie empty for years. Newcastle in particular seems to follow this trait then these buildings in turn are demolished to build..........yes you guessed it student accommodation !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 That old depot was delapidated 40 years ago. Knew a Bartons fitter who worked there. In fact he worked for Barton buses all his working life. Still very active at 92 years of age. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Nottingham at the time they were demolished they were not considered beautiful, just old and out dated. I'm far from being a fan of the planners but have to admit they don't have a crystal ball and could not see the future value of areas like Broad and Narrow Marsh. Hopefully today's lot are a little more enlightened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart.C 483 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looks like Historic England have scuppered Bartons plans and now the Art Deco frontage is Grade 2 listed and can't be moved. It will end up being left to decay as no-one will get planning for anything else adjacent to it. (that would make commercial sense). It'll most likely end up being "accidentally" knocked down, or fall down overnight, as has happened before in the City. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/historic-city-centre-former-bus-3237759 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 This morning (Sunday 25th) it was surrounded by scaffolding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 483 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Confusing then. Maybe Bartons jumped the gun expecting to get planning approval to move it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
