Second DEFINITELY Wilford, shot taken from the bank of the River Trent and the big clue are the two brick arches far top left, part of the Great Central Railway. In fact at least one is still there but the rest of the viaduct has gone. You mentioned Gunthorpe but from memory its fairly flat with Gunthorpe Bridge over the Trent. Dont think 1 is Clifton Grove either, its not as hilly or as steep as Colwick Woods is. Oh yes, great photos!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-73078510370040720912013-08-21T01:35:59.682-07:002013-08-21T01:35:59.682-07:00I think it was a good idea to give a child a puzzl...I think it was a good idea to give a child a puzzle depicting a moment in her own life.

On <a href="http://photo-sleuth.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/Jerome%20Studios" rel="nofollow">Photo-Sleuth</a>, of course. Jerome Studios were a countrywide chain with branches in most major towns. I know that they sold hand-colouring kits, but I didn't know about the jigsaw puzzles. Now I want one! Well, a good scan or high quality photograph of the front and back of a jigsaw and original photograph will do. ;-)Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-75720870000597928082013-08-14T02:56:14.678-07:002013-08-14T02:56:14.678-07:00Oddly, I don't remember playing with this when...Oddly, I don't remember playing with this when I was young, though the buebelll one I did a lot.
