Tis the Park, just beyond the Castle. I do spend a lot of time in Langtry's opposite the Corner House
I used to frequent a pub called Langtry's. Over the road from the theatre. I spent more time in the Turf Tavern next door-ish though.Oh happy days. I live in the North West now but I’d move back to Notts tomorrow if her in doors was up for it.

There used to be a good "irish" pub in Notts. City Gate Tavern I think?
There used to be lots of nice pubs, that weren't spit and sawdust boozers. When I came here in 1993 to scope out the city I went out for a night on the town with my brother. Neither of us could believe how forthcoming and friendly the women were, when compare to the South. I imagined having a good time here and was proved right.Nottingham is a s
thole full of street beggars, crime getting as bad as London, to many non English & ran by a loony labour council who have made this once great city a motorist's nightmare these day's with sky high parking costs a tram system that nobody wanted & don't forget the Workplace Parking Levy where you have to pay the council £400 p.a. to park your car in an employer's car park.
Little wonder many employers have pulled out of "Shottingham".
I have only lived here for the last 66 years & ashamed to see how it's changed for the worse over the years.

Mate, you've been spoiled...parking is dirt cheap compared to softy south, traffic moves well and yes there problems but nowt compared to most places. It's a sign of the times.
....but yes, the tram thing is a bit mental

As a Londoner who's now back in notts for a 2nd stint after a 15 years abscondence in Sheffield, I was disappointed that the 'circuit' doesn't seem to exist anymore with 20 somethings trying to burn off expensive supercars in their neon light cladded honda civics.
Thank the lord for small blessings!

Happy memories there. A friend and I in our 20's heading to Hooters for Chicken, then taking his Boxster S to the circuit to smoke some Corsas 
The police 'shut it down' years ago, they came down really hard on it until everyone got the message.

Yorkshire now is it?
Yep. I spent what felt like an eternity commuting out on the A453 whilst they were dualling it, only to leave just before it was done.
Despite having no need, I’m tempted to drive back just to see what it’s like now.
Spent many happy weekends/evenings in Nottingham. It was the nearest 'cool' city that had bands and for those of us in the provinces (Lincolnshire) that was a big draw.
Three whole pages and no mention of Rock City. Pah, saw so many bands there and at the Poly.
Other places had gone last time I went, the Narrowboat, The Salvation?

Sal is still here, as is Rock City. Narrowboat was demolished as part of the canal side regeneration. Three whole pages and no mention of Rock City. Pah, saw so many bands there and at the Poly.

The parking charges aren't TOO bad but the car parks are horrible. Fletcher Gate is like a multi-storey urinal. thole full of street beggars, crime getting as bad as London, to many non English & ran by a loony labour council who have made this once great city a motorist's nightmare these day's with sky high parking costs a tram system that nobody wanted & don't forget the Workplace Parking Levy where you have to pay the council £400 p.a. to park your car in an employer's car park.Little wonder many employers have pulled out of "Shottingham".
