I think Cher has posted that link before, but nice to look through again.

I was annoyed by this however......

"c1927 Notts County Football Club, Meadow Lane. Meadow Lane is to the right of ground, Iremonger road is at the bottom of the image."

Iremonger Road wouldn't exist for another 35 years or so and it wouldn't be at the bottom of that image.

re: railway level crossing

I didn't realise Meadow Lane went all the way to Colwick Rd.
(Though chopped in two by developments, it seems there's a connecting footpath.)

That's the way we used to get to the ground before it became a dead end and we'd often have to wait at the railway crossing. It was always heart-warming to see the odd old supporter in the Sneinton area with Notts scarves on making their way there on foot down Lord Nelson Street or wherever, something they'd probably done for many decades going back to Lawton days or earlier.

Sneinton & Colwick are among the few areas of Nottingham I don't know well.
From a historical point of view, it's very interesting because it retained the "S" dropped from Snottsingeham.
