In my late teens, I got home " tiddly" about 2.30 am one Sunday morning and realised I'd forgotten to take my front door key with me. As this had become a regular thing and mum & dad were fed up with being disturbed, I decided to get the wheel barrow from the bottom of the garden, stand in it to give me some height to stand on the window ledge of the conservatory, then I could get on to its roof and crawl up it to reach my open bedroom window. Things didn't go quite to plan as the roof was damp from drizzle and I slid down it, fell into the wheel barrow and rolled down the rockery. By th

Ashley, by messing around with various bits, I've got it in a format where the world can see it.

Talk of the Major Oak, reminds me of the dying wish of Robin Hood, as he lay on his deathbed..................Propping himself up on his pillows, he drew his bow saying............bury me where this arrer' lands, so they buried him on top of the wardrobe....................I'll get me coat!!

Thought this was interesting. New Sherwood Hello, my name is John Palmer and I live in Dorset, England. When I was a boy I was taken to see the Major Oak and have loved the great tree ever since. In October 2000 I collected 500 acorns from the Major Oak and planted them in 3 inch pots at home. Here they got "tender-loving-care" and the best ones were potted up next May into 5 inch pots. When they were a year old, many were straight, sturdy and over a foot high. The best 300 saplings were potted up into 10 litre pots the second year. My back garden was rather full of pots, as you can imagine!A

Hi guys, hope everyone is fine and well. Was on my way home today and thought I'd take a few quick snaps on my phone of how the area is looking currently, especially now the huge building on Norton Street has now been demolished. Also, any history on this old pub or what it used to be/what used to be in it's place... Oh and here is a picture of the clothes shop that I think Babs mentioned and asked me about in a previous thread, I think it's fair to say it's been shut down for a while! Apologises that the photos aren't too great, as I said they were taken quickly

I am an ex forester and for me the best thing they can do is, 1: collect the acorns and grow a replacement, and 2: while they are waiting for them to grow, cut off the branches and pollard it, it will look a mess for a few years but it will soon have a descent top on it

As I said in other post I would start a new topic on Carlton Girls School Station Rd Carlton I went there from 1962 to 1966 the head misstress was Miss Jones at this time.Some of the teacher I remember are Miss Edginton Music , Miss Johnson the elder who was my form teacher from 2nd to 4th year taught maths, Miss Johnson the younger taught needlework she was my form teacher 1st year its easy to remember my form teachers names.

Been busy over the last few days digitising some of my dad's slides from the 1960s. While most of them were family pics, he did take a few of Nottingham and some villages. A couple of them stand out - one of Drury Hill and one of Garners Hill, with the railway viaduct in the background. There are also some he took during the Margidunum dig in 1968, and a couple of Gedling Colliery taken in the early 1980s, just before it closed. See what you think...

Lizzie , Assuming you can move the bird box without too much trouble , have you seen this ? Wear protective clothing, especially gloves. Take a note of where the nest is and how you will reach it when it is dark. Wait until all or most of the workers have returned – this is often well after dusk. When activity quietens down, block up the entrance hole with flexible foam (e.g. from a sponge or scouring pad). Seal up any holes you find around the box using tape, as bumblebees can easily use these to escape from the box when it is being moved. Take the box down, without tipping it over, and k

I better not repeat what I said to you on Facebook, Lizzie.

I reckon closest equivalent you can get today is this - through the trees and buildings. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.989545,-1.173966,3a,75y,299.45h,89.51t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sAqCgO71uHFnsX6OFs3QUuA!2e0?hl=en

I find it amusing how many advocate chopping down a historic tree, but complain vociferously when old Nottingham buildings are destroyed!
