Stan 386 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Firstly googling the request took me directly to the information as requested,I had no idea what the site was as I went straight to the information and did not bother to scroll back to the first page. Secondly,I now note "Extra info: Rick Wilde – Cinema Notes in Local History Library" There would be little point in excluding this information,who is Rick Wilde? There now, that footnote is added ,Happy now? As for "to make it seem authored by someone else." For what purpose? This Rick Wilde person does not seem to be a member of the Mercia Matters Commitee and apart from the totally overlooked mention as pointed out by the complainant,would not obviously appear to be the originator of the piece,only one to whom one should refer for`Extra info'. This was a simple search for information.Apologies if missing a credit to Rick Wilde or whoever was the compiler of the list.(Which still remains unknown) What a sad individual to make such a fuss over such a trivial matter! Mercia Matters. Mercia Matters .Mercia Matters!!! Apologies +++++ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raggy 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes..there was a real dive of a cinema in Bulwell Market Place, by the 43 trackless terminus. IIRC, it also doubled as a theatre specializing in static nudes, complete with varicose veins !faint! The name eludes me... Cheers Robt P. Does the name olympia ring any bells?

loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 The cinema on station road in carlton was the victoria. First of all welcome Raggy. Not trying to be contentious here. Maybe it had a name change after my exodus from the area in the mid 60s but throughout my childhood it was definitely the Regal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 As I grew up in the 60,s there(Carlton) I can't remember it ever being open. I asked my mum and she said it was always the Regal as far as she knew!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Not sure when it closed, Beefy. I used to go there with my dad to watch these corny sci-fi flying saucer type pictures in the '50s. It was pretty run down then as I remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,580 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 The Vernon was across the road from the level crossing on Vernon road, I remember the building you talk of Ashley, was it next to some Methodist mission maybe the third building up from the crossing on David lane, yes I agree with you Ashley there was one there Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I actually meant the "122 miles" bit, ( some other cinema,s in the list have distance in miles from nearest railway station) I aware of the Victoria cinema,(I think?) if the one I'm thinking of at one time called the Windmill and/or the Moulin Rouge? maybe the 122 was yards? (or miles from London!) Recall The Vernon being open, building is still there, the one I referred to was pre WW2 the other side of the crossings on David Lane (if it ever existed) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 The Windmill is familiar from when I first came to Nottingham in around January 1963. Was there a windmill facade. Was it later to become the Moulin Rouge? The MR showed "Sex Films" or in those days films showing nudity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 remember as a kid there was some windmill model with spinning lit up sails, never went in it, but did the mechanics once, remember seeing "It happened at the world fair"? there (Elvis and Anne Margret?) about 1963 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Notts Lad oop North 14 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 reading your post brings back memories of my younger days . we visited every cinema in the meadows during a week . i remember the imperial on wilford road , the grove on kirkwhite street and the globe at trent bridge Wow what a memmory. I went to one of these when I lived in Meadows to see Guns of Navarone when it first came out in the early 60s -Kirwkwhite street sounds about right. Just cannot recall a cinema near Trent Bridge and I lived very nearby..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 cannot recall a cinema near Trent Bridge and I lived very nearby..... Coming from West Bridgford over Trent Bridge, it was almost the first thing you faced at the Bridge end of Arkwright Street HERE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 The Globe was a big cinema that stood between Arkwright Street and London Road near Turney Street, think it was demolished about 1963. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 286 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Moulin Rouge was directly facing Victoria Station? I also recall a very similar place just down from the Peacock Pub, only section opened, a news agents, always wondered what it was previously?. Wasn't there also a Hi-fi shop roughly facing the Peacock in the Early 90's? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
