bamber 128 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was down at the Inland Revenue offices this morning. while I was there I took this snap of a building just across Wilford Road. Boots want to sell the place, but who knows what gruesome role it played in their business before it closed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Just a guess but any thing to do with the drug Thalydomide ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thinking about it wasn't it a firm called distillers ?? from the name it's probably something to do with the brewing business Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 THE former Boots product-testing centre on Wilford Road in Nottingham has been demolished to make way for a major office scheme. The 0.46-acre brownfield site at on the southern fringe of the city centre has planning consent for a 100,000 sq ft landmark office development, to be known as Sentinel. Wilson Bowden Developments, the property developer specialising in office and industrial schemes and town centre regeneration projects, acquired the site from healthcare and retail group Alliance Boots. Nottingham City Council granted outline planning permission in April last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

firbeck 859 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Easy my friend, its on top of the cupola at the Albert Ball Memorial Homes, Church Lane, Lenton. Excuse me but what has that got to do with a thread about the torture and murder of animals by Boots in order to improve cosmetics, or did Albert Ball wear a nice shade of Boots lippy before he went into battle in his Se5a.

Thats where you got your aviation interest from then matey! Perhaps we should start another thread on this. How did they end up living there for instance? Aren't the internal rooms arranged in the shape of a WW1 fighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
