Some of you might have noticed a large derelict house on the corner of Derby road and Lenton boulevard.
If you drive past at night, there are lights on........does anyone know the story behind this property ?
I am sure it once hosted some great parties and had a swimming pool backing onto Cottesmore school ?

I really enjoyed my athletics ,especially at Notts AC and at uni.
The biggest problem about Saturday sport was the " Saturday job " which kicked in around 14 and funded my dungeon/ beachcomber/ boat club habit .....
During the winter I was quite happy to give up netball and hockey teams but come summer the sound of the starting gun and the roar of the crowd ( well 3 men and a dog ) would make me ask woolworths for a " career break " till September

#1197 used to be a fantastic pub when Gilly was in charge (now @ The Horse & Jockey Stapleford) the Queen Adelaide must have some of the best views over Nottingham city center especially late @ night.
Note: The landlady has had her licence revoked which she would need to take another pub on.
RR does Gilly have the star at Beeston as well as the jockey ?

Happy memories of Wellington school, very traditional building and lovely children, not so sure about the staff.....some very old school and the head was a mr Barrett ......
Was living south Manchester at the time, so it was bus and train ( no trams back then )

Gosh that brings back memories Jill .....teaching practice !!!!!!
the lecturers assigned to watching you perform miracles in the classroom ( one of mine had 52 pupils in ) were failed teachers who were in no way equipped to help you through those stressful weeks .
My first practice was a comprehensive in Bury town centre, second one a primary school in
pendlebury Lancs and the third Moss side in Manchester .......
