Moor Farm was still a farm up to the late 60's. It then was converted into 'Moor Farm Inn'. It was renamed 'Bramcote Manor' which was a little confusing as the Bramcote Manor house is in the old village. The last name change was to 'Tuck's Habit' until it closed. The whole site has been cleared and a new Meeting Room (Church) occupies the site.

There was a 'tramway' from Codlings Yard, Sidings Lane (now J McCann) SSW to the Crematorium site which was a sand pit. The tramway is shown on 1956 OS maps. Bramcote sand was mainly used in the foundry industries for castings.

That is a little harsh basfordred, Whilst there are indeed some career councillors that may come across as sanctimonious there are many-many ordinary folk who sit on county, borough, district and parish councils and carry out their duties diligently and without publicity or self-seeking.

It is definitely a Dutch registration, issued between 1978 and 1981. The Dutch system does not include a region of issue.

I did say 'initially', the other reg combinations were not adopted until 1920's.

I have not seen the Nottinghamshire Register of Motor Cars but does this cover the city as well as the county? They were 2 distinct registration authorities. City cars initially registered 'AU' and county 'AL'

MOT's for pre-1960 vehicles were abandoned last year (2012). This does not mean the vehicles do not need to be in a roadworthy condition - the problem is that older vehicles cannot be tested using the same equipment as newer ones and for older cars there have always been many exemptions. For example, when seat-belts were introduce as a mandatory requirement their fitting could not be retrospective as, whilst the belts could be fitted, there could not be any destructive testing to ensure the belt pick-up points would perform. Similarly, as lighting and emission legislation has advanced with ti

Vehicles manufactured or registered before 1st January 1960 are exempt from the MOT test

M Ross Browne would appear to be a single person, not a partneship between 2 or more, certainly associated with early Nottingham motoring. http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/1900_Nottingham_and_District_Automobile_Club

Then hailstones Tuesday

The stoms played havoc with flight-plans on Monday evening, planes were held away awaiting the storms to subside.

From my experience, do not eat/drink near popular tourist attractions, a coffee near the Trevi fountain will cost about €15, move away and it will cost €5. Also, always pick up a receipt for purchases and keep for 45 minutes, not to do so is seen as aiding the shopkeeper to avoid VAT.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the Water Works opposite?

A 'nut' has one nut in a kernel, a peanut has more than one nut in a kernel so it is not 'a nut', - so the experts say. The experts also say that 'a banana is a nut'. Nuts if you ask me
