Toys R Us at the Riverside Retail Park in Nottingham

A look at a lost shop in Nottingham.

Many thanks to my friend and minigolf rival Jam Trubridge for sending over a snap of the old Toys R Us store at the Riverside Retail Park in Nottingham.

It's great to see the signage is still up.

It's another store for us to visit in the future as soon as it's safe to do so.

It'll be nice to meet up with Jam too as there are a lot of minigolf courses in Nottinghamshire we have yet to play on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Former Toys R Us stores

Sadly Toys R Us closed in the UK in April 2018. Luckily there are still remnants of the brand on some retail parks in the UK. I worked in the Gipsy Lane store in Luton, Bedfordshire back in the year 2000.

This year we've also been to the old Toys R Us stores at Gemini Retail Park in Warrington, the Festival retail park in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Deepdale shopping centre in Preston and at the Wyvern Retail Park in Derby.

We took at look at the old Toys R Us store at the Central Retail Park in Ancoats, Manchester just prior to its demolition in March 2019.

Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf

A look back at Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf.

Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf at York Art Gallery

I played Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf on two occasions in 2016 and 2017. The first was a round at the New Art Exhange in Nottingham, the second was at York Art Gallery.

Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf at the New Art Exchange in Nottingham

As today is International Beer Day it's worth taking a look at the ace beer mat scorecard the course had.

Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf course first appeared at the Venice Biennale. It then toured the UK for a while.

I bought the ace merch on sale at the art pop-up

Branded minigolf merch - always superb to see

It was an interesting art installation and a nice, playable miniature golf course.

Munchies

My recent blog post about the Credit Cruncher shop in Bristol that parodied Pac-Man in the shop's signage reminded me of Munchies takeaway we spotted in Nottingham back in 2014.

Munchies in Nottingham - this 'Pac-Man' obviously prefers H's to dots!

My mate and minigolf rival Jam 'Jamdre the Giant' Trubridge has sent me more proof of the East Midlands miniglf revolution as ANOTHER course is opening in Nottinghamshire!

Emily and I are looking forward to another inland road-trip to visit all the courses in Nottinghamshire. It's crazy how many new minigolf centres are opening up in the area. Jam is in his element living on the doorstep of all these new arrivals!

As well as the new course at Riverside Golf Centre we've got to visit:
- Highfields Park Adventure Golf in Nottingham
- Mr Mulligan's Pirate Golf at Ramsdale Park Golf Centre in Nottingham
- Caddyshack Golf Centre in Mansfield

Our friend Darren Howe and his family recently played the Robin Hood themed Adventure Golf course at Center Parcs Sherwood Forest.

On previous Crazy World of Minigolf Tour adventures in Nottingham we've played at The Lost City Adventure Golf in Nottingham, Doug Fishbone's Leisure Land Golf in Nottingham and Pirate's Landing Adventure Golf at Trent Lock Golf Centre in Long Eaton.

We've also played at minigolf courses in the surrounding area at Coalville, Loughborough and Leicester. As well as in Sheffield and Skellingthorpe on either side of Nottinghamshire. Other courses on our 'to play' list include Paradise Island Adventure Golf in Derby and the Golden Putter Mini Golf course in Rotherham. There are a couple of Crazy Golf courses in parks in Doncaster that we need to check out too.

If you see or hear of any other new minigolf courses in Nottingham, the wider East Midlands region, or indeed anywhere else in the UK do drop us a line or leave a comment on the blog.
