Ashley 288 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 And what was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is it a quiz, or do you know? I'd guess it's the base of a column on a building or bridge etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 is it a well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Might be an urban setting. Bit of what looks like graffiti in the background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 yes guess you could class it as a quiz, had to crop pic ture as a wider view would give it away, it is within the city Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Railway related? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is it at the castle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynmee 38 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The old Trent Bridge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks like a bit of the Lenton Abbey...but that's not the 'city' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 In one of the cemeteries? Forest Road or the one at Canning Circus; or perhaps part of the old church wall at the church just up fro the Salutation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would have said Lenton Abbey within the city, perhaps my age but to me anywhere within the old "bus protection signs" was the city, not that it's part of that abbey, nor part a church, the castle, trent bridge, in a cemetery or railway related, Stu noticed something, and Cliff Ton on the right lines, Wish I could give a better view or clue but it would give it away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ha'penny bridge , Medders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is it the tunnel your were looking for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 is it a well? It looks to be roughly 3ft diameter, which is about the same as the well in our garden. Could it be the remains of St. Anne's Well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 The old road bridge at the top of Arnot Hill Park, can't remember the road name. Taken from the railway embankment? ISTR the stone walling up there, although it is 30 years ago so I'm probably wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 No near correct guesses so far, I would say it is maybe 10ft in diameter so those stones quite large, one clue I will give is it's to do with water Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is it some kind of sump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 is it some bricks ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is it one of those horse troughs at the side of the road, such as the one at the end of Sherwood Rise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I was thinking this way earlier but couldn't remember any likely places in the city: Is the graffiti on a pair of disused lock gates on a Nottingham canal somewhere, perhaps the Trent end of the Grantham Canal? Or the Canal basin by London Road? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Compo's getting close! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've an idea it's a type of sump or drainage feature of some kind in the foot of a dried up canal as Compo suggests. I know that ROT is your area Ash so I had wondered if it was on the Grantham Canal in the dry bit from Fosse Bridge near Cotgrave? I realise that's not really 'town' though. Might it be the dried up Nottingham Canal near Lambourne Drive at Wollaton? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynmee 38 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 The old public toilets on London Rd at side of the canal near the canal bridge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Knowing Ashley it's the old base of a water filling station for the steam trains of the sixties Quote Link to post Share on other sites
