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

Does anyone know when the 110th Nottingham, Mapperley Methodists group ceased?
And why?
Shortage of leaders/helpers maybe?
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

Here's a photo of an unruly bunch of Mapperley Methodist 110th Scouts. I think one of Nottsalgia's esteemed members might recognize a face or two!

These were extracted from an old cine film which I paid an arm and leg for to be transferred to MP4. The location is Epperstone, probably early 70's.
Top picture to the left of Clayton Lewis(ginger) that's me

CT, on page 13 of this thread one of our members mentions scratching his initials on a wall. I could be wrong but one of the faces on the first photo has the same initials!!!!
If I'm right, will he own up?
Guilty as charged....but I'm grassing a couple more up for signing the same wall

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!!!!!
