Page 1 of Ghost town in Notts......what gives?
General Forum
Betwixt the A52 and A6097 roundabouts on the A46 (Fosse way) in Nottinghamshire sits an eerie looking ghost town. The closest marked place on google maps is Newton, but when you switch to map view, the area below has no street names at all (?)
Does anyone know the story here?

The abandoned houses on the base were used to film scenes from the film This is England.[1] It has also been used for the BBC series Robot Wars.[2]

All I can say is "BUY BUY BUY!" the owner would probably let it go for a few quid in the current recession matey!
Oh!,and when you have rented it all out, don`t forget a few coppers for the bloke who gave you the lead eh?
