radfordred 6,284 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Not sure that end of Grassington would be classed as Bobbermill? I'd say Ainsley Estate, But bang on @philmayfield word on the street it was a never opened station for a planned Nottingham underground railway system What? Where? Year?

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Lenton or Basford. They looked the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 I think it was the demolition of Basford flats around 1985. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma. 1,533 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 The former NatWest bank in Radcliffe-on-Trent now a bar/restaurant. The gate at the side of the property has been fashioned out of the strong room door. You can still see the "Chubb" label. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Engineer 612 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Originally Gerard's soap factory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I remember playing in a school football match for Glapton against Stanley on a pitch close to Gerard's soap works. The air was thick with the smell of the soap and by the end of the match you could taste nothing but soap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 That would tend to confirm the location of the photo on the Berridge thread which shows a football team with what jonab thought could be Gerard's in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Almost certain it's Gerard's chimney. Looks somehat different without the factory buildings at the base but the decorative brickwork persuades me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know when the last Trent barge found its way up river to Nottingham and how far beyond Nottingham they could travel? There seems to be some barges on the opposite side of the river in this photo.
