Queens Cinema, Nottingham. Opened as the Midland Electric Bioscope in 1909, renamed Midland Electric Theatre in December 1911 and closed in June 1935. Reopened the following year as the Queen’s Cinema and finally closed suddenly on Tuesday 4th January 1955, with the rest of the week’s run cancelled. The auditorium was used as a car showroom and the foyer became a retail unit. Both of these have been closed for some time. The entrance (latterly Ricochet) and foyer appear to predate the cinema auditorium and are possibly part of the Queen's Hotel, designed by AN Bromley in 1905. Recently a redevelopment sign has been erected, so the auditorium (at least) may soon vanish. I doubt there can be much of cinematic interest left inside after all this time.

Pryzm Nottingham is a chain nightclub located on Upper Parliament Street in Nottingham, England.
The site became vacant when Nottingham Prison was demolished. The building was constructed by the Midland Palais de Danse Company and opened as a dance hall and billiard saloon under the name Palais de Danse. The architects were Alfred John Thraves and Henry Hardwick Dawson and the contractors were W. and J. Simons. The building featured a globe and frieze of dancers over the entrance. It opened to invited guests on 22 April 1925 and to the general public 2 days later.
It changed its name to Ritzy, then became simply The Palais, then was Oceana and is now Pryzm owned by the Deltic Group.
It was refurbished in 2005 by Bignell Shacklady Ewing.

Mélanie Matranga: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Mélanie Matranga's films, installations and sculptures are at once intimate and elegiac. Her work asks fraught and timely questions about images and memory, privacy and proximity. Titled 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, this is the French artist's first institutional solo show in the UK, and all of the works here were made over the last year. At a time when we have become accustomed to confinement and isolation, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 offers a sensitive reflection on how we see ourselves as individuals, and on the social fabric that binds us together.
These are a just a few of the exhibits on display.

The name 'HALO' is connected with the finest of hair net products for women. They clearly thought that such a connection deserves an exclamation mark. If Halo was a brand name for a hair net and if the company made these why not say so? 'Connected with'?? Nice advertisement though, despite the lame copy. Byard Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Woolpack Plane, Nottingham. Advertisement in The City of Nottingham Official Handbook. [late 1950s]
In the early 1980s, City of Nottingham Transport was looking for the next generation of double deckers to follow on from the Atlantean and entered a phase of trial vehicles.
It took two East Lancs bodied Dennis Falcons, one of which was shown at the 1982 International Motor Show in Birmingham
They weren't very successful and it would be another 14 years before Nottingham bought more Dennis buses.
Nottingham, Canal at Castle Wharf. Opened in 1796 the Nottingham Canal linked the Cromford Canal at Langley Mill to the Trent Navigation at Beeston. Closed in 1937 the Nottingham length forms the centrepiece of the city's Castle Wharf area, redeveloped from the mid 1970s. This area, formerly the home to quays and warehouses, has been re-imagined with waterside bars and restaurants in the old warehouse buildings on the north side. The British Waterways Warehouse is Grade 2 listed. The Magistrate's Court on the south bank was designed by the Nottingham County Council Architect's Department with William Saunders Partnership and Cullen, Carter and Hill. Built on the site of a former railway station, it opened in 1996.

East Window by Ward & Hughes, 1878.
Allsop memorial - detail.
The firm of Ward & Hughes spans the history of Victorian stained glass from the Gothic revival to the Aesthetic Movement. Despite having worked in so many styles, their windows are easily recognisable since, unlike those of many artists, they are always signed “Ward & Hughes, London” with the date of manufacture. The partnership of Thomas Ward (1808-1870) and Henry Hughes (1822-1883) began in the early 1850s. Thomas Ward had been a stained glass designer for almost twenty years by this time, in partnership with JH Nixon. When Nixon retired Henry Hughes, one of his pupils and a talented designer, took his place. After Ward’s death in 1870 Hughes was free to run things as he wanted. There was clearly a change of direction in the 1870s away from the now stale Gothic style towards a style influenced by the Aesthetic Movement. Henry Hughes died in 1883 and the firm was taken over by a relative of his, Thomas Figgis Curtis (1845-1924). Soon after, the firm’s output was signed “TF Curtis, Ward & Hughes”. The firm remained operational until the late 1920s, but most of the company’s archives have been lost, so little is known about this remarkable and enduring firm.
Not sure what it is just lately with Sunday chucking up the oddities, but an OmniDekka was out today on Gotham work. I'm wondering if maybe the native Navy stuff has been into Nottingham to use the bus washes maybe??
909 sits on Beastmarket Hill ahead of working a 48 to Clifton via The Meadows and Riverside Retail Park.
Since my last photo, the real seats has been fitted on and the destination blind has been found. Looking more like a bendy bus now unless when it was first started.

Nottingham once had two Mainline railway stations, but today, sadly, only the Midland Railway station survives. These pictures of the red sandstone edifice show it's neo-classical pretensions. Clearly the Directors of the MR wanted to make an impression!
