Nottingham Victoria Station, with rebuilt Royal Scot 1962
View northward with Rebuilt Royal Scot 4-6-0 No. 46158 'The Loyal Regiment' on the centre road, waiting for a job that may well be a stopping-train. These fine express locomotives were being ousted by Diesels from their hitherto normal duties on WCML expresses, found work on the Midland lines and even on the already moribund Great Central main line. No. 6158 had been built 8/30, rebuilt 9/52 and survived until 10/63.

Victoria Centre flats, Milton Street, Nottingham
An element of the large shopping complex of 1965-72 by Arthur Swift & Partners was flats, the profile of the blocks rather resembling a ziggurat. The towers are the climax.

Looking north-east. In the foreground the spire of the former Prudential Assurance building; directly above it the Victoria Clock Tower which is the last remaining part of Victoria Station. To the left the tower crane stands above the new Trinity Square development. To the right, the towering Victoria Centre flats.

Nottingham - NG1
The "New Foresters" pub now sits at the side of the pedestrianised St Ann's Street. Overshadowing the "green" island in front of it are the back of the Victoria Shopping Centre car park and a couple of post-modern architectural specimens appear to dwarf the pub.

New Foresters
By the frontage I'd say this was a Home Brewery build.
