I remember coming home from Walter Halls to find that they'd tarmac'ed over the cobbles on Eaton Street....oh the joy as solid rubber tyres weren't much fun on the cobbles especially having to go to the dentist to replace ya fillings! Got to mention us trolleys went faster too

Quartermasters stores Ya never go to heaven He jumped from 40000ft LOL

Ey up Paradiddle....still waiting for this vintage footage I need a good laugh. Yep we're all owd bugga's now I did go on one of these "bring a parent"scout camps down in Calverton I've never been so bored in my life nothing like our camps....it was wrapped up in health and safety....can't do this can't do that!...I was glad to get packed and home!

Well on a none health related topic I've been polishing all the brass in the boatmans cabin

It's got me scratching me head abit that's for sure

Paradiddle which one is you?

We were a different sort of troop....if you've ever seen a film called the dirty dozen...we were a bit like that but we were good and all got on. When we left and our leaders Pete Mason,Eric and Dave Green left....it went down hill from there...we were far from conventional and the kids round the top didn't want "conventional" and the new leaders tried to run it as a "squeaky clean" outfit.....but it died a death....sad really

Top picture to the left of Clayton Lewis(ginger) that's me

110th all the way

Guilty as charged....but I'm grassing a couple more up for signing the same wall

To the left of mark IC that's me .... RH=Richard Henson.... Mark=Mark Fawsit

As you go down on your right there is a barn just before the entry..... All on there

Yep it used to be an allotment there before Speed Electric crane/folk lift.... Me mates Dad(George Butterworth of Eaton Street) used have the allotment..... Talking of Eaton Street.... Took a quick look down there and mine and me mates initals are still there carved in brickwork from the 60's

The old station masters house belongs to the council... Mate of mine used live there with his 8 kids.... Its quite big inside(it would have be with 8 kids) built properly and will be still standing when these modern houses are all crumbling away

And that's what used to grind me gears with whole face mask thing.... You'd go in the supermarket and you had to wear your mask but there be hords of kids not wearing masks because they didn't have to!!!!! Hope ya grandson is making a good recovery.

Expensive paint brushes

Lateral flow tests, also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assays or rapid tests, are simple devices intended to detect the presence of a target substance in a liquid sample without the need for specialized and costly equipment

Flipping eck more houses, just hope there's going to affordable housing..... Sort of sad really when you see your play grounds of yesteryear disappearing.... Spent many a happy time playing in the brickyards newting, mud bombing the blokes working down in the excavations and skating in winter on the frozen ponds.... Infact I was up Mapperley Top the other day and to say I was born n bred there I might as well been in a foreign land!!!!!

I second that..... Fingers crossed

Yes they were.... The lads n lasses always looked smart on a night out and me mam always had brilcream stains on her settee doilys

Lots of washing

Me mam used to say "never judge a book by its cover"

Pink jobs done..... Just going to peel a ice cold Stella
