Throwback Thursday… Nottingham

Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 23mm, 1/170s, f8, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was a couple of odd corners of the city of Nottingham.

Designed by T.C. Hine, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) corn warehouse dates from 1857 and is Grade II Listed but was badly damaged by fire in 1998 and as far as I’m aware is still standing but derelict.

This Reliant 5cwt van was perched on top of a container and advertising ‘Lady Bay Independant Car Breakers’ near the racecourse in Colwick. The 5cwt van was the predecessor of the ‘Supervan’ that was made famous by the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
