I can’t think of thing at the minute to be honest ... I’ll wait to see what people put it may trigger something

1. The old fountains near the Council House/Old Market Squad

2. Broadmarsh being a useful shopping centre

3. A more relaxed city centre

I most definitely agree with all of these

Struggling to be honest as I'm a country lad, but...

1. A better road system that used to be easier to get round until the Trams arrived!

2. Working on Highfields Science Park

3. The Grove pub in Lenton.

1. Argos in Broadmarsh [I don't like the Vic Centre one)

2. Subway being the same in every location, I hate how they cater just to Halal meat

3. Gamestop [Best game shop in Nottingham until it went]

Posted

1. Select a Disc. Spent so much money in there!

2. Knowing where things are! Businesses close down so quickly now and me going in infrequently, no idea what's where.

3. Buying the Football post on the way home from a match from the Trinity building in Trinity Square, still hot as they'd just been printed. Covered in ink, but didn't care!

1. being able to catch the tram and the bus with one reasonably priced ticket

2. the old train station front before it became mostly glass

3. several shops that have closed down due to money issues

I don't live near Nottingham, so I do miss the city.

1. Having walks along The Embankment

2. Walking to Meadow Lane

3. The old Market Square

1. Victoria Railway Station

2. Original South Notts and West Bridgford buses....is any one on here old enough to remember the free bus from Clifton to the Gem supermarket ( now ASDA West Bridgford)

3. Gash Football Special bus waiting in Meadow Lane after the match, destination board for seemingly exotic places like East Bridgford

1. The old fountains at the Old Market Square

2. Many of the lost inner city pubs

3. The 80's Meadow Lane [Pavis did well to modernise the ground but the old one is missed]

1. I miss Fopp being located near the post office not far from the square, they had better offers back then.

2. I hate how the roads have been tweaked so much they are now rammed with traffic, it used to much simpler.

3. Broadmarsh actually being a useful shopping centre, even the future plans are useless

1. The Great Central Railway
2. Terraces at ML
3. Selectadisc

Living in America, I would say I miss Nottingham a lot.

1) I miss the buildings, factories, character and charm of Nottingham. It's a lovely city!

2) The old fountains and old market squad

3) Nottingham businesses such as Raleigh's, players etc.
