I
would
just
like
to
say
what
a
fan
I
am
of
your
site.
Since
moving
to
Nottingham
a
few
months
ago,
I've
taken
a
keen
interest
in
the
history
of
my
new
home.
I
have
been
devouring
all
the
local
history
books
in
the
local
library,
and
your
site
is
an
excellent
reference
for
comparing
old
pictures
in
the
books
with
modern-day
Nottingham.
Long
may
your
work
continue,
I'm
sure
it
will
be
appreciated
for
many
generations
to
come!
Heather Hanger, Nottingham, 22nd August 2008 I've only just discovered your web site showing lot of photos of Nottingham. Not being born in Nottingham, though I've lived here for 40 years, there are still lots of areas & things I've never seen, & I'm happily rediscovering them through your lovely photos.

I
must
congratulate
you
on
your
web
site
and
its
first
class
photographs. Ken Brand, Vice Chairman Nottingham Civic Society, 10th May 2008 I have just found your wonderful site with the excellent photographs of Nottingham. I have been back to England a number of times since leaving in 1966, but haven't visited Nottingham for many years. I am researching Nottingham to help in writing my memoirs and your photos have brought back many memories. Thank you again for your site. As well as having beautiful photos it is so user friendly.

ran
across
your
site
by
accident. Rebecca
A
Koscielniak Saw the article about your website in last week's Evening Post so decided to take a look. What superb photos! Haven't had time to look at them all yet so have put your website in my Favourites so that I can keep dipping into it. The photos are really beautiful - I never knew we had so much sunshine in Nottingham - and the website is easy to read & simple to use. I'm really enjoying looking at it. Well done and keep snapping. Val Gant, Location Unknown. 10th February 2008 I
read
the
Nottingham
Evening
Post
article
on
you
and
your
web. Mitsuko Tsuchida, Japan. 9th February 2008 Good for you Ray! Let's hope the City Council (tourism dept) are grateful for the excellent free advertisement for the City that your web site provides. Retired? Looks like you've moved from one full time job to another - I'm sure there's a lot more to it than just taking the photo's. Look forward to seeing the 2000th picture. Terry Brown, Rise Park, Nottingham. 5th February 2008 What a fantastic achievement and great resource. You have done Nottingham proud and its good to see someone else who shares my dislike of many of the new buildings the architects of today seem so happy to build. Keep up the good work! Tony Travers, Beeston, Nottinghamshire. 4th February 2008 Well done Ray! Your photo collection is very good. Now my family abroad and any other ex-pats can log in and see how much things have changed in and aound Nottingham. Keep those photo's coming. William Knight, Nottingham. 4th February 2008
I
have
just
found
your
website
via
the
Nottingham
Evening
Post
page.
Well
done,
it
is
good
that
someone
has
taken
the
time
and
care
to
capture
Nottingham.
Adam, Nottingham. 4th February 2008 Thanks from Australia for your excellent web site. Sam Hammersley, Australia. 4th February 2008
I
found
your
web
site
via
brewery
history
pages,
and
it
kept
me
occupied
for
over
an
hour
and
I
only
skimmed
the
surface,
I
will
be
back
to
this
very
interesting
site.
I
am
a
Surrey
man
but
have
visited
Nottingham
on
a
few
occasions.
Rex Poge, Surrey. 20th January 2008
I've
just
spent
a
very
pleasant
hour
or
so
perusing
your
excellent
web
site
and
just
wanted
to
say,
well
done.
I
am
not
a
Nottingham
native
but
fell
in
love
with
the
city
within
a
few
minutes
of
arriving at
the
Midland
station
from
Sheffield back
in
1975.
I
was
on
my
way
to
an
interview
out
at
the
University
and
soon
decided
that
this
was
where
I
wanted
to
be.
David Lalley, Long Eaton, Derbyshire. 11th January 2008
I'm
enjoying
your
photographs
of
Nottingham.
The
best
I've
ever
seen.
Congratulations.
Derrick Buttress. 29th December 2007
My
sincere
thanks
for
a
fabulous
site.
The
subject
matter
is
enthralling,
especially
for
someone
like
me
who
loves
Nottingham,
despite
being
born
in
Ireland.!!!!!!!.The
quality
of
the
photographs
is
stunning.
You
should
be
very
proud
of
yourself
for
the
professionalism
involved
in
your
work
although
you
probably
describe
yourself
as
an
"amateur".
I
intend
to
return
to
your
site
from
time
to
time
and
I
most
certainly
intend
to
share
it
with
others.
Once
again
my
grateful
thanks.
Declan Forde. 27th December 2007 Having seen your work on your web site, I feel compelled to write to you and tell you what a brilliant job you have done in recording Nottingham's heritage and long may you continue.

My
colleague
forwarded
the
link
to
your
website.
I’ve
just
finished
having
a
look
at

it’s
prompted
me
to
send
you
this
email
straightaway
to
congratulate
you.
The
concept
of
your
site
is
most
effective
and
your
pictures
show
the
town
in
a
very
good
light.
I
will
be
a
regular
visitor
to
your
site.
Well
done.
While

It's
a
fantastic
resource

that

it

THANK
YOU

in

sometimes
look
for

photos
on
the
web

they
tend
to
show
the
tourist
sites

and
it's
not
those
that
I
miss.
I
miss
the
everyday
life
in
the
city,
the
people,
the
shops,
the
pubs
and
the
local
radio
-
just
what
your
photos
capture.
Looking
at
your
photos
brought
so
many
memories
flooding
back,
Ive
got
tears
in
my
eyes.
I've
been
away
too
long! Just
like
to
say
I
really
enjoyed
looking
through
your

You have a fantastic site which I have yet to completely see- there are so many exellent pictures of such intersting places - I found Victoria Baths where I learned to swim. You really have done a great job, you should be extremley proud of it and everyone owes you a great debt. Gerald S. Humphreys, South Florida, USA. 31st May 2007 We

have
noticed
that
you
have
some
excellent

that
would
be
ideal
for
our

cover. Sharon Langsdale, Nottinghamshire Living Magazine. 15th May 2007 NOTE: Unfortunately due to being on holiday at the time, I missed this great opportunity!!!!!!! Joe Li, Hong Kong. 11tyh May 2007 would like to say how much I have enjoyed browsing through your site.

Looking
on
your
website
Nottingham21
it
seems
you
are
a
veritable
source
of
information
on
the
city.
Having viewed
the
images
on
your
site,
I
am
at
a
loss
as
to
which
buildings
and
streets
to mention
as
notable
places.
I
wonder
if
you
would
choose
5
architectural
gems
for
me
to
include
and
also
tell
me
a
few
of
the
smartest
streets
in
which
to
live.
