poohbear 1,360 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Much to the relief of that end house I should imagine... No idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Ashley, what an incredible view: Newfield Road. The houses tumbling down the road and the train cutting across the suburban landscape. I can easily imagine you climbing up the steep embankment. How lucky you were to visit one of the houses, I would have done too with trains running down the bottom of the garden! It's the kind of photograph you never get tired of looking at, you can always find something new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Can't take the credit for the photo, think from picture the past? makes you realise what work went into The GCR locally, re the "new quiz photo" seen that pic before so know answer but as didn't see in real life think unfair to say so any guesses any one?

Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Stu is close enough (closer than Wembley anyway) Today it looks like this http://maps.google.c...,73.35,,0,-0.36 If you zoom out of the Streetview image you'll find you are at the back of the City Ground Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah,that's why I put Wembley. Have you had a curry in the Sagar lately denshaw? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 No never been in Saagar, the Viceroy is near me but not keen on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Any takers on this location? It's one I took about 10/12 years ago and I've just looked on Streetview; the whole embankment is much more overgrown now. For a clue - I was standing in the middle of a road (left to right on this photo) and I would have been under a long-demolished bridge with the railway going above me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Near Hucknall Road? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Got to be where the Nottingham suburban leaves the mainlne near the big block of flats in Sneinton on Colwick Road (camera pointing north (ish)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 That didn't take long! Beefsteak is correct. The photo shows the right-hand embankment of this bridge And behind me when I took the original was this .....and I'm surprised to see on Streetview that the pub no longer exists Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 The Ginger Tom demolished many years ago, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 The "Ginger Tom" has been gone a few years now, (Not sure if it went before I left Nott'm , but it may have been that long ago!) I only recognised it as it's was always one of those "One day I'm going to climb up there and see what I can see" places, when passing on the bus, that sadly never did and now never will get done !
