Hi, I used to have my hair done there in the late 1960s

Maybe my brother in that pic Greg Cumberland from Arkwright Street second from the right as you are looking at the picture middle row

ilkolad I remember Mrs Raven, but Mr Skinner is the one he hit me with a ruler across my hands , you dont forget those things but the other names would be remembered by greg as he was a bit older I was in Miss Bamptons class she was nice. Sylvia Woodward just remembered her too , I also remember in the early 50's thos horse and carts that came around rag and bone man, used to go down Atlas Street , and the coal men , how things have changed. Marsdens another shop and Grace Bull the Hairdresser. When I got married we used to go to the Hong Kong restaurant and sad to see it now.

ilkolad Hi again, yes they were my brothers and also Louella my younger sister. I was the only one who emigrated in 1990 max lives in Somercotes and Greg in Long Eaton . thats the Shop we had Wriggly's sweetshop next door and the Electronic shop next to that Pete's electronics (Pete Hanson.) Can you remember the fishing tackle shop on the other corner Ozzie and his maggots in the shed at the back , Jack Backen 's Newspaper shop and joan Rudge Wool Shop , all opposit Baldwin House, can remember them all. Use to walk into town to C & A . I went to Arwright Street junior school

Dont know if your still around , but you mention Cumberland Coaches that was owned by my Mum and Dad Albert and Julie they went to live in Long Eaton After the Council pulled the Meadow Down and ran the business from there , when they retired they went to live in Portugal.. Sad to say they are both no longer with us. And I live over in Australia on the Gold Coast Queensland

A class of the 60's sometime? Can anyone put any names to the picture middle row second from right could be Gregory Cumberland
