jackson 301 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Taxi Ray, splendid views of Long Row @ #118 (my guess is that the time is: late 40's, early 50's) and #119, the 'Bell Inn' (late Victorian?); both of such valuable, historic interest. Thankyou. Not forgetting the little gems @ #102, #103 of Fynger's and Cliff Ton's. I'm writing a story at present set in the 1950's; you've no idea how much these images help.

denshaw 2,872 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sorry Chris, didn't recognise you from behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wonder where they all went in the old days when there were hundreds of market stalls and thousands of shoppers? That could take a bit of research Cliff ton... proberly used all the local pubs round the square plenty of um in them days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Useless information...... looking at this photo I realised it shows Long Row before anything was demolished to make the gap for King Street/Queen Street Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 That's when the area between the shops and Parliament street was known as 'The Rookery' a mass of slum housing,yards and tenements. Pretty obvious why they called it Long Row in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not seen it since it looked like that in #132 apart from in photos, so will be interested to see for myself probably in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terence12 725 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 as a teenager, about 17yrs, i joined the hippie group we used to laze away the days in the market square in the early sixties, nothing but flower beds, pigeons and pretty girls, it was said then that the nottingham market sq was the best in europe, like places such as Black Boy Hotel, Victoria Station etc. theres never improvement on original just interfering and creating rubbish, councils eh, like wives, cant live wi em cant kill em. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
