Would Nigel Clough have got a game if it had not been his dads ball?

Believe McFisheries was in the Old Market Square near the top of Exchange Walk. Later taken over by Halfords and became a cycle/parts shop??

Have a little knowledge of the area. I think the large concrete block of flats you are thinking of was Braidwood Court. On the corner of Radford Road/Gregory Boulevard was Staddons Bed Shop which had been in Hyson Green for decades but I believe it has recently closed. Further along Gregory Boulevard was the Hyson Green Police Station later taken over by Nottingham Social Services. Adjascent to that was the Victorian Public Toilets, one of the last to have a full time attendant who kept the place spotless and polished the brass fittings. These were next to a private house which was occupied by

Could it be Dale Church?

Upper Parliament Street/Maypole Yard - Old Guardian Journal Building?

This is a difficult one. Looks like Nottingham Guildhall in the background but can'tbe sure. Suspect it is circa 1930's with perhaps the old Trinity Church in the front right hand corner which could make it Foreman Street. Trinity Row or Trinity Square area. Or Milton Street?

Nottingham Scientific Exchange was on Peveril Street off Alfreton Road. Had a shop on each side of the road. One specialised in electrical bits and bobs (both the common and the unusual) the other in tools of all types. The owner, whose name I cannot recall, also had many flats in various parts of the City. Had one for about a year on Lucknow Drive, Mapperley Park in 1965. (met my wife at a party we had there)

Sorry, can't recall a Sgt. 'Pat' or indeed an Irish Police Officer on Central Div. about that time. He may well of course been a County Officer visiting Town. I continue to search a memory which appears to have fewer gigs. daily

Hi all. The Horse and Groom was on St Peters Gate at the bottom of Exchange Walk. Shipstones house and one of the first to follow Berni to serve food. Recall having a delicious Steak Dianne There about 1967. Could well have visited after hours as well?

Anyone remember something called Liquafruita or something like that. Could be the black medicine mentioned by Olive. A cure all for coughs, colds, bad chests and respiratory problems. Tasted strongly of what I thought was onions but could have been garlic. Probably the worst thing I have tasted in my life . Other kids that had it seemed to smell of it for a week so I Guess I must have smelt then same.

Shortly after the last world war and before sweets came of ration (probably 1949//50) confectionery was limited to a brown paper bag with sugar in the bottom in which you dipped a stick of fresh rhubarb. This was sucked until the rhubarb shedded into strings. Delicious at the time but I don't think I could fancy it now.

Rob, totally agree about the current weather forecasts which always seem to predict conditions much worse than they actually are. I believe this began when the meteorological office failed to warn about the severe gales which did so much damage in the South of England some years ago. Since then they have always erred on the side of caution for fear of being caught out again.

There must be another Nottingham. I believe thjere is one in the USA inthebin

Remember it well. When I came to Nottingham in 1962 used to return home from Mount Street Bus Station on the old <Midland General C5 to Alfreton. Only ran every hour and used to have a cuppa in Churchills whilst waiting. Did it change to a Cappocis before it closed?

I think it was Bernard Bradens wife but cannot remember her name so Mrs Braden???

Some say Beech Avenue was Forest Fields. I suppose it relates to which end of the Avenue you are?

Anyone remember the Nottingham boxer who used to be the doorman (bouncer) at the Lacarno in the early 60's. m His ring name was Johnny Carrington but I cannot remember his correct surname. He and his family were also barrow boys selling fruit/Veg from a barrow on St Peters Square and Broadmarsh area.

Used to use the Peach Tree when courting in the early 60's. Certainly didn't seem like a Gay pub then. I can only recall one really gay pub at that time which was on Glasshouse Street but I can't remember it's name. The Peach Tree was always frequented by staff and performers from the Theatre Royal and it was sometimes amusing to see them dash in ( in costume) during the interval and drink a real quick one before returning to the stage. Another popular pub in that area was the Spread Eagle on Goldsmith Street and the Guildhall Tavern on Burton Street.

NAAFI CLub was at the bottom of bottle Lane Off Bridlesmith Gate. Very popular location

No, this was way before the Victoria Club which was very much more select than the Blade Blade Club was situated on Burton Street opposite the main entrance to the Trent Polytechnic. It was in a row of shops next door to one that specialised in fancy dress and theatrical costumes if my memory serves me correctly.

Sorry to hear you are suffering. Hope the new treatment is successful and you return to full health. Regards B)

I think this was or became the BLADE CLUB. One of the first legal gambling establishments in Nottingham. First went in in 1962.

Wearing that outfit could only be a hot dog.

Sorry about the above Not paying attention

Could it be ......'The Loggerheads'
