The only names I remember from Dave's post are Stu Morris and Mondo Kane and they were just other faces. Do remember that for a laugh I asked the DJ to play "Snoopy Vs The Red Barron" The music scene was great but you had to be on your toes against the bully boys outside the all nighters after your money, also if some girl came on strong inside and asked you to go out there would usualy be a couple of likely lads waiting in St Nics.

One not mentioned was "The life and legend of Wyatt Earp" starring "Hugh O'brian", never quite the same for me after he came over and appeared on one or two variety shows with his "Buntline special", then Mike and Bernie Winters made a comedy song about him called "Mad Passionate Love".

A valiant effort!

I worked on the Albany as I have said before And was there when I met the wife which was 1967/68, I remember a lot of the people from the Albany went to the Broadmash job and also to the vic centre. I left the albany soon after the topping out ceremony but remember all three jobs running at the same time at various stages. probably not finished untill the early seventies. Or at least people had jobs to go to at the broadsmarsh project so they were recruiting then. Victoria centre had been started.

Still waiting for one of the Ladies to post "Im a little Girlguide I dont swear They can't blame us lad's for that one

I draw a snake upon your back and finish it with a dot like that, then you had to guess who did the dot

Yes cliff had a look when I first came across this thread, I remember the prefabs being made on a different site near bulwell but can't remember the place name. Sure I recall always seeing the golden ball pub and used to go down an old railway track looking for golf balls, the only other thing I recall is an old boiler house which had to have the chimney lowered that would be around 1968.

I remember your dads name but I couldn't put a face to it now, often went to haydn road as I was on the maintenance team, Fred Brooks was our gaffer. There was a fantastic steam engine there that had been used to power some of the machines by belt and pulley also they had their own well and water treatment plant, maybe thats why it was called "Spring Lane" or was it "close"

Walking down there was like being transported to the past, yes! have to say it should have been saved and I have never liked the new Broadmarsh(new! shows my age it was built in the sixties) Planning was short sighted and not enough of the "old" was retained. Too many people on the "mek haste"

Just wondering on the pic of Market St if the place on the left is still "The Talbot" or if it's become "Yates", any idea of the date?

"The Lone Ranger" They say it ran only to 1957 but I seem to remember it in this country after that. If i'm off post I apologise.

Havn't heard of them susyshoes but from the link it looks like the kind of thing I would enjoy, if they are performing again locally please post the info. A group iv'e seen a few times over the past decade are "the Hamsters" they do the old stuff rarely well. Mod or Rocker stuff it doesn't rarely matter any more, it was all great stuff

I wouldn't have remembered it from the picture, you guys have sharper memories than me and in the late sixties I used to ride to and from work every day from Clifton to Simms Sons & Cook on Spring Lane Lenton before they closed it and built the Queens Med.

RE water connection Remember as a child when mam took me into Nottingham on the trolley bus from Radford she would always ask the conductor for one & a half to "The Fountain" I always thought that was slab square but I'm sure we used to get off near Woolworth's. Just wondering if she new Lister Gate area by another name. Anyone know anything

Thanks Ashley I know they are not far apart Bulwell forest being the closer to the main road I think from Hucknall.

Might be the old Corporation Water Works. Found this Nottingham Contemporary’s lace depicts cherry blossom. The design was in a book of lace samples, placed in a time capsule by an unknown Victorian in 1847, and buried underneath the Nottingham Corporation Water Works where the main Marks & Spencers now stands. The lace came from the factory of Richard Birkin, one of the largest and most innovative lace producers. Birkin himself was three times Lord Mayor of Nottingham http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/our-building

Just out of interest was Bulwell hall golf course built on the same site as the hall or is that somewhere else. played both the Bulwell courses years ago but was taken there and it's not an area of Nottingham I know very well

Katyjays right! mind you we had come through a "rock & roll" revolution and were well into "Mods & Rockers". Ingoldmells 1965/66

No sorry just Ruddington, however this website appears to have free extensive records for wymeswold http://www.hoap.co.uk/who/localhisregister.htm

The records were given to me buy another researcher, Think they were bought from the fwk museum, I will look and see how far mine go I know that Bunny & Bradmore are on.
