That's definitely the 44 terminus, out of shot to the right would be The Swinger, was there also a cobblers next to the garage?

The Limes is still there, a favourite of us Nottingham laggers in the 70's, large tea & 2 dripping toasts (crusts)!! lovely

my dad always had the Daily Mirror, which I continued buying until my late 20's (mainly for cartoon strips, The Fosdyke Saga was my favourite the "wrong loony" joke was classic from Bill Tidy), then changed to Daily Mail for many years, after which I 'took' the Daily Express. Only buy papers occasionally now, but both Sat & Sunday Express + Romney Marsh Express + "Looker" which has local news

#11, Lizzie, re' the invention of cat's eyes, apparently the reflection from a real cat's eyes were seen by the inventor in his car headlights whilst travelling to a friends...........................luckily the cat also turned & walked away (disdainfully) with his tail in the air (as cat's do) so the inventor also got the idea for his pencil sharpener invention...................

The Davenports man, ..................." beer at home means Davenports" , as the advert went

#317...........Hi Bonnie, welcome to Nottstalgia, it's my Grandma & Uncle Albert you lived next door to, in Radford Grove Lane. Albert wasn't the most friendliest of people I agree, but he idolised his mam & lived with her all his life. Following from Gran's passing, & up until Alberts passing, he would bike all the way from home up to Wilford Hill to spend the day with Gran, every week.............taking a flask & sandwiches to sustain his vigils.

#8 I lived at 21 Minver

Prince was found dead at his 'party mansion & recording studios'.................age 57, what a shock, he was IMHO, one of the finest guitarists of the day RIP Prince Rogers Nelson

I remember working at a boilerhouse in Basford, that had coke fired boilers, stacked in big piles behind the boilerhouse. If you peed on the coke it smelt terrible!!

Welcome Angel, I was born in 1951 & lived on Minver Crescent, then Aspley Lane, went to the youth clubs you mentioned, & most of the pubs. You may have known the Wynne brothers, their mum lived next door to the Cocked Hat, all of them were educated at John Players Academy For Young Gentlemen................ ..............I was a good Catholic boy & went to St Teresa's

Got mine in January this year................but I wish everyone (including the Pension people) wouldn't refer to it as 'Benefit', it's my money that the government has had the use of for the past 50 years!!

RIP Victoria Wood, a rare talent lost....................Let's do it!! a classic...........................

I worked as a contractor at the Hucknall Road hospital in the 70's (referred in other posts) & believe building still stands within the grounds, type in Tring Vale on the A611, that's Hucknall Road & the building is directly opposite the junction of Tring Vale you can see the old building with newer ones attached. I tried to post the google link without success!!

Wive's can bite through a chain that thin, mine did, but luckily she jumped the fence & never came back..................

Spot on FLY2, I live 'darn sarf' now, & they always say crumpets, they don't know what a pyclet is..................
