youreds91 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi I've recently gotten into John Harvey's Resnick novels & must say they are pretty good & very nostalgic to read. Harvey paints an excellent picture of the mid 90s. I never watched the TV adaptations of the first 2 novels when they were on in 92/93 but did find a site that had torrents of VHS recordings which I downloaded & found quite enjoyable. Corrie's Roy Cropper plays his DS & Billy Ivory plays one of the DC's. Well worth a look, you can get them here (registration required) http://www.thebox.bz/details.php?id=52011 http://www.thebox.bz/details.php?id=51397 Anyway, I digress, there were some nostalgic scenes, one of which was Tom Wilkinson walking past INTOTO on the corner of Hockley & Heathcote St. where I spent a few bob. Then there was this shot below of some flats, could be Basford or Hyson Green but they were demolished in '93 when this was done. I was thinking it could be the flats around what was Highcross Court off Hartley Road which has been done up & still stands. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I agree Bro Lived on Hartley Rd when they were built. Think they have some fancy paintwork and roofs now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youreds91 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I thought as much, they are the only flats of that area still standing along with the tower block at Hyson Green which has just had a facelift too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Surely it's Stalingrad, no creative, social minded architect in this country would ever conceive such a monstrosity in an historic British city. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
