Always knew it as Spanish Gold...used to get it from the Naafi in Chilwell Depot...cos our shop din't sell it.

Both those brothers are still around ( so are the other 3 )...one of em's in spain now...I don't think any of his family are still in Chilwell..he did have a house on Woodland Grove too...near College House School where he went ( they put a blue plaque up for him there not long ago. ( at the school )).

My 2 elder brothers went to school with him at Alderman White in Chilwell.....Lived about 12 houses away from our house. ( next door to my mate Kev )

The single fronted shop was called " Curios ".

Maybe...... its possible....was basically the front room of one of those Big Bay Window houses. ( so may have been set back a bit )

Was along Shakespeare St on your left as you walk away from Vic Center...toward the College end...I think where the Barnes Wallis Building is now.
