Great Central Track Plans
 
I don't know if this has been posted before but I came across this when I was looking into other stuff about Nottingham.
The interesting bit is what was taken out to build the Victoria station.

While researching the "Family Tree" we found this plaque in the porch of the Parish Church of St. Steven in Bobber's Mill Road, Hyson Green, Nottingham.

Totally amazed,:confused: Regards, 62440.:D

This site may be useful too.

It contains many photographs of Nottingham including the area before the Victoria station was built.
Warning if you come from Nottingham as I once did this site can take up a lot of your spare time:D

Now there was a grand old railway station from the steam era Nottingham Victoria, I never went there, but I have seen many many pictures of it from all angles and it was a crying shame when they decided to demolish it.
