no-one mentioned his 'brief' who wore a 'suit' when in 'flight'.....no capitals there, all written in 'lower..'

Yep SPOT ON.....old granny was well famous with us kids around there as was the 'rite of passage' by climbing her.......So if you know of her and the garages she trashed when she fell, where were you as a kid growing up....i grew up on Wheatgrass rd

You must mean 'cars'.......

Hi and Welcome RWK. I dont suppose you knew a David Griffiths from that area ?

We had an 'R.C. Bottoms' and a master 'Bates'

err....is that football ???

Ok it is an 'it'....not there now ..she was lost in a storm mid eighties i think...end of Inham road almost where field lane was added....all chilwell kids ( me included ) made the pilgrimage.

I got my email off them in about 2 seconds yesterday....clicked on the link and ive a registered account now

Yup....thas the one LB.....got the book scanned too Littlebro....if you know chilwell quite well.....what or who was 'Old Granny' ??

Ash....you are in the right train of thought but NO not borley

She on a 3 day week then ???....thought she'd of bought more...maybe its us poor folk that have to do 7 days every week.

Also....Where was this and what happened here to make it famous ??

Great map...it shows nicely the derelect shed we used to play in just down the road from school and the ( huge )golf course we had to run round fer cross country....( dint need that memory...hee hee )

Still there.....sheesh i know i were stoned alot back then but how could i miss a bridge...used to go to a mates at legoland quite often too......I shall have to go back and get some pics...ive been meaning to go get some pix of the bridge further down in the woods as thas where i used to get clay from ( just under it ) ( was bl**dy heavy carrying it back to the flat too )....thanks fer that....also want to get pix of the lane going down to wollaton where we used to pass moor farm.

Great pix....i was in Balloonwood flats mid 70s but it was all connected to wollaton vale by then ...nice to see the bridge being built and even nicer to see 'legoland' on the other side being built too. Did they remove the stone bridge then or do i just not remember it ???

What a lovely clip.....nice to see nature doing its own thing.

Staying in with a Famous little Grouse

Nice one....lets hope it leads somewhere good for you

If you search for the thread 'Beeston Tesco' you'll see i've come up with the same conclusion....seems they've just re-submitted their plans differently.

PetMarts as flat as the rest of it now....see Bips photos

Cheers....bowt rite eh
