plantfit 7,632 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi Stu, I think that pic is not too far from where I live, it is on the river at Newark near the locks? Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Sorry to dissapoint you Stu but there's one even closer to the Trent, (If it's still there that is !) Google Street view The Castle Barge , in Newark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm not disappointed Beefy, I know the Castle Barge very well indeed and go there most times I visit Newark. Yes it is still open. Rog, yes, the former(?) Kelly's Tavern at Newark Locks. I was pleased to see it had re-opened of late under a new name I think. The pub used to have a few Isle of Man connections.

mgread1200 141 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 There are few places in the City I am now comfortable with so many changes over the years and not many for the better. However sitting outside the wine bar at the Nottingham Playhouse and after a couple of large glasses I sometimers feel like the old Nottingham lad I used to be. I was a P**s Artist back then as well.

.... 23 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 ...outside the wine bar at the Nottingham Playhouse One of the more civilised places to sit outside for a drink around the city on a summer's evening, I'd definitely agree. Just far enough to be away from some of the weekend evening madness in the city centre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Glad someone agrees Stu, I think its because "the park" has been restored rather than replaced by modern buildings more like the old Nottingham I like to remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Time to wind up the mystery "rubbish photo quiz" have been trying to find an "a it was photo" but can't, that footpath is a right f way and has replaced "halfpenny bridge" footbridge that ran from Paton Road to the later Gayhurst Rd over the GCR, totally infilled nowthere was a deep cutting under it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Will.M 0 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi everyone, I don't think I have seen a topic like this for famous places in Nottingham to visit today. I like travelling around the country and travelers always say the best places in a city are never the most popular 'tourist' attractions. So I thought it would be interesting to find out what others who know of Nottingham think are the best places to visit. What three things come to mind? Would you recommend the more common places like the Nottingham Castle, Museum & Art Gallery or The City of Caves? I found this online survey, and realized a lot of the places I think of are pretty common and I am sure there are better things to do in these cities! I thought I would share it cause they're offering an amazon or £100 holiday voucher if you just tell them what comes to mind when you think of a city https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aosQvD0Yls41WrcElz_2HOkQoh-Knxd66gsnOd7QNCE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
