[Victorian Legacy]

Just returned from a wonderful afternoon on the Victoria Embankment with my wife and grandchildren.

I had a couple of hours fishing and watched the kids play scooting safely up and down the embankment and flying a kite.

My wife enjoyed the warm autumn sunshine and a cup of tea.

A great afternoon costing only a couple of ice creams.

What forsight out Victorian forefathers must have had when they constructed the Embankment for the enjoyment of the people of Nottingham and surrounding areas (I say that because I do not live in the City)

Similarly the Forest Recreation ground and the Arboretum, two oases !tanning! of peace in the City, again planned and built by the Victorians.

Anyone think of anymore?

Will we leave a legacy to our great great grandchildren to enjoy for free?

I don'T think so.

Smiths Yard Off Millstone Lane Nottingham.

Millstone Lane off Hockley somewhere near St Marys Church. circa 1820

[Berni Inns....]

The very very very first Berni Inn in Nottingham, in fact outside Bristol was the Sawyers Arms on Wheeler Gate.

[Basically the same...]

Highbury Road ??

[Do You Remember Your First?]

Caz - Very quick

[Knitting]

Anyone remember the good old balaclava knitted by mums at the beginning of every winter and worn throughout the cold weather to 'stop earache'

Usually in grey but occasionally in other more 'trendy' colours such as dark blue or green.

[The "Vic" Ballroom Late 50's early 60's]

Dodger Green was certainly one a Nottinghams Finest Working from the Guildhall, Central Div. before he took up the licensed trade. Another part of his eccentricity was a season ticket for his yorkshire terrier at Meadow Lane. (But was all this 'eccentricity' good publicity?

[Coan's Lock Sawley]

Probably Ilkolad is correct but at the location I mentioned, what is now a marina was once a basin for loading/unloading narrow boats and storage of goods. Probably wrong.

[Coan's Lock Sawley]

Erewash Canal Sawley. The lock currently near the bridge taking Fields Farm Lane over the canal?

[Name the school on the right....]

Bluecoat?

[14 Bus unknown location?]

Looks like aMorris Cowley Circa 1962/4

[14 Bus unknown location?]

The No. 14 ran from Old Market Square (Smithy Row) every 15 minutes to Trent Boulevard, West Bridgford. Terminus was near what was the Leonard Cheshire Home but I think it is called something else now.

[Talbot Street]

I think that the building was used by one of the public utilities i.e. water, electric or gas back in the 60's On second thoughts was it telephone?

[Warning ladies!!!]

Cali,

If they had really been any good at it once on Friday would have been enough!!! !!

[Off on my Jollies]

Anyone want a smoke???

[It Was Alright For Some.]

Hi All,

[Berni Inns of Nottingham]

Hi,

Probably pre-amalgamation as she was in the City Police. At a guess would say 1964 - 1965.

[Berni Inns of Nottingham]

Hi All,

Anyone remember the Police Woman, Janet Haigh I think her name was.

Married the manager of a Berni Inn, I think it was the Sawyers Arms on ListerGate.

The last I remeber of her was as joint licensee of Vernon Arms, Forest Road?
