Thompski and the pirate "do" nottingham (part two)

After out "refreshments" we decided to go to the old and much reported on GNR wherehouse for a look...
"well we just about HAVE to while we are in Nottingham..."

Not much to see there either TBH but what we did was nice...And the showpeice of the day for me was there !









Another great piece of "art"



And the great liftshaft..



The obligatory scaffold shot...



And THAT showpiece...for me anyway...







Towards the end of this explore it started raining.....and didn`t stop then for rest of the day...

I don't tend to do stuff thats been done before unless i'm in the area or it offers a certain appeal. The Nottingham GNR Warehouse has been reported on extensively in the past however I felt rude to ignore its imposing form on the edge of Nottingham city centre so naturally we felt it deserved a look.

Nottingham Great Northern Railway Station and Goods Warehouse was designed by Nottingham architect TC Hine, and features a (then) innovative roof design to allow maximum storage space. The station closed to passengers in 1944, most likely due to the close proximity to Nottingham Midland Station. The goods warehouse was used for Railway purposes until 1988, and was used by small businesses such as a furniture manufacture after that.

In 1998 the building suffered a major fire - causing much of the damage seen today. Several years ago two bodies were found inside the warehouse.

Camo trousers are this season's must have....

I love that sad, old till, all the old monetary system too. That's an excellent find mate. Keep wanting to have a look at this, drive past it so many times, but never stopped to have a look.

Excellent pics, i love this building.

Cheers,

Sal
