mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e66/mick2me/bridge.jpg This Girder bridge crossing a cobbled street in Nottingham, circa 1897, is typical of how the railways traversed old nottingham. Can you imagine what it would be like to sleep in that top bedroom? I thought at first this might be Arkwright Street looking south, but I am not so sure? Any Ideas?

mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 And another? Where? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Can't be Arkwright Street as the Great Central didn't cross it until 1904/05... Looks like a Midland Railway or Great Northern lattice overbridge... Would seem to be a main road, judging by its width. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 My mistake...Arkwright Street had been bridged by 1897. Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Would the first picture be of Canal street? Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I dont know the answer to the first but I might be able to find the second? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Would the first picture be of Canal street?Bip. Could well be Dennis... When I checked that Arkwright Street had been bridged by 1897, the Canal Street option occured to me. Although the design of the overbridge doesn't seem to be particularly in the Great Central style.

denshaw 2,871 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Could the second one be Kirkwhite st near Blackstone st in the meadows ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 This is the Kirkwhite Street bridge. Maybe bridge 2 from the opposite direction. A shop on every corner B.C.? (Before Co-op) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Bridge 2 is Kirk White Street West, The Meadows Bridge 1 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Bridge 2 is Kirk White Street West, The MeadowsBridge 1 ? Canal Street would be Bridge 1... Tunnel & Viaduct up to there from Nottingham Vic' Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 no.1 def not canal street, that was a lattice type girder bridge but certainly GCR over meadows area, heading south from victoria first proper bridge was canal street, then bridges over station st, queen.s rd, crocus st, arkwright st, kirk white st west,and then over victoris embankment so take your pick! The only Midland bridge in the meadows was over meadow lane (leading to what is now LadyBay road bridge) and The GNR and LNWR ones over meadow lane west of the level crossing were nothing like that nor The Nottingham Suburban ones Trent Lane area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 not queen's rd nor awkwright st (no shops) either! was going to send pics but all mine "too large" how do I reduce etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nnsc 131 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 This is an old thread, but I've only just been reading it. According to the book 'Victorian Nottingham' volume 5 picture No 1 is in fact Queens Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
