And to think they razed that area in 1965 because they said it was a slum! Don't recall ever seeing anything like that mess strewn around back then. Could be worse, I suppose. Could be a child in the pushchair! I'm vaguely surprised there isn't!

It's Andy Pandys friends Bill and Ben I'm worried about, I think they've been on weed.

Radfordred there is a space for obituaries and many of listings are not Nottingham linked.

From PTP, this is the entrance to the Children's Hospital on Chestnut Grove.

The Garden Street area, including Hollins Mill, in the early 50s when you couldn't move for houses. I've marked Garden St itself with the two arrows; the main road at the lower end is Ilkeston Road, and at the top it's Denman Street.
