Rhymester 25 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I took this photo sometime in the 1980s but can't remember where. Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Purely a guess, looking at the buildings in the background, somewhere Radford/Hyson Green/Forest Fields ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhymester 25 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I know I took pictures of the Arboretum around the same time so you might be on to something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,303 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'd agree with CT there. In fact, the Arboretum sprang to mind when I first saw it. We used to wander round there in our lunch break from The Manning... wouldn't fancy doing that now!...and it looks familiar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhymester 25 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Found the contact sheet of the original negatives and the previous shot was a bandstand presumably on the Arboretum? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 370 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Looks like the corner of Addison St and Arboretum St. There was a chapel there shown on old maps. Now part of the High School grounds https://www.google.com/maps/@52.9633936,-1.1552606,3a,75y,12.85h,101.82t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHPNsDYDI6kmaei0gwtSgMQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think notty ash is correct. Two photos from Picture Nottingham show the same distinctive spire with four mini-spires. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm000164/posterid/ntgm000164.html https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm012513/posterid/ntgm012513.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
