escafeld 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi Newbie here, I went to a meeting and took some photos along the way - http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=9961035&page=1 There are a few additional ones from earlier mixed in, but I can't sort them.

Limey 242 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Very good - thank you! I am amazed - the platform at Midland Station is exactly as I remember it - and I haven't set foot on it in almost 40 years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
escafeld 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thank you. My interest in Nottingham stems from the fact that my grandparents lived at Linby and they took me there from time to time. I went there on school holidays from 1945 onwards. My grandfather was a signalman and worked the GN signal box at Linby Colliery and one at Newstead. They lived in one of the railway cottages on Church Lane, Linby. This just happened to be a visit arranged by members of Geograph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That Geograph website could become pretty addictive too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
escafeld 1 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 A vast amount of the 1km x 1km grid squares have now been photographed in the British Isles. Some grid squares have 100s of photographs attached. The one including Lincoln Cathedral (SK9771) has 1,311. The square covering Nottingham railway station (SK5739) has 560. Ireland is the least covered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Just going off subject here Loppylugs, but have you read the novel The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein? You will look at your dog in a different light after reading it. Wonderful book narrated by the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
