IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Victoria Centre, NOTTINGHAM, NG1 3QN

Bench seats around the Emett Clock. Since the clock was returned to the Victoria Centre earlier in the year Image, some seating has been provided. As this picture was taken the half hour was reached so a short excerpt from the Rondeau from Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Suite Le Rappel des Oiseaux was heard as the metal birds danced.

The Aqua Horological Tintinnabulator is a water-powered clock created for the Victoria Shopping Centre by renowned kinetic sculptor and cartoonist Rowland Emett, unveiled on the ground floor in 1973. In 2015, it was moved to the first floor.

The clock ("The Acqua Horological Tintinnabulator") was designed by the cartoonist Rowland Emett (1906-90) and installed in 1973. In 2014 it was taken away for restoration by the Rowland Emett Society and the owners of the Victoria Centre, returning (in a different location) in mid 2015. See Alan Murray-Rust's Image

View northward from the north end of the station with the 11.08 stopping train from Sheffield Victoria emrging from Mansfield Road Tunnel, headed by Thompson L1 2-6-4T No. 67749 piloting Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 44690.

'Hoodwinked: a twist on the tale' was a city-wide art project that ran from July 7th to September 30th, with 33 large plastic robins placed around the city on a walking trail. Each bird was decorated with a particular theme relating to where they were placed and the businesses sponsoring them. The theme of robins was chosen due to the city's famous connection with the legendary outlaw, Robin Hood. This bird was titled 'Nottingham Forest', was sponsored by the intu Victoria Centre and was designed by Kathleen Smith. It celebrated Sherwood Forest, near to the city.

View southward from Up Main platform 4 to Down main platform 7, where LMS 'Jubilee' 6P 4-6-0 No. 45638 'Zanzibar' is heading the 08.38 express from London Marylebone, when the London Midland Region had taken over the ex-Great Central main line for its decline, although the great Station had another five years before it was obliterated. On the middle line is an LNE L1 2-6-4T.

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.

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