I remember going to the Windsor for the childrens matinee on a saturday afternoon, cost just a couple or three pence to go in plus the essential ice lolly (sucker) all in all about a tanner. We were entertained with stuff like The Bowry Boys or Flash Gordon played by Buster Crabbe, Old Mother Riley was another one.

The last time I went down to see my Daughter they had already been on the web finding out how much some of them were worth, must admit I was astounded at some of the results they had come up with. If they make anything then they are welcome to it as they won't be inheriting any fortune from us, the wife and I have decided to spend it!

If you are going back to football on the green days then I think Geoff's mates might have been Ted and Pete Richardson who lived just off the green, you didn't mess with them!!!.

Like many others I finished up with a large collection of vinyl covering decades and when cassettes came along they were all thrown into an old suitcase and put in the loft. about two years ago my daughter and her partner bought a record deck and asked me for them. I thought they would have to throw most away as a lot of them had seen to many parties, but no they cleaned them up and played them, the highlight of their christmas party was the guests picking stuff they had never heard of and playing and dancing to them. My daughter told me that the most played disc of the evening was Bunny Sigle

Your memory serves you well !!! all the people mentioned lived on Maypole as well as someone else you remembered from Clifton Hall Diane Fitton, She lived dead opposite Gail. Alan's family emigrated to Australia in the sixties, I heard from him over the first couple of years but nothing since then. Geoff I was in touch with untill the early eighties when we were both bringing up young families.

Definitely prefer Vintageann's picture from the Dungeon. Thank god fashions moved on!! Bye for a while folks!!

Sorry to post off thread! Yes Cliff Ton in later years the family ran a pub in Radcliffe on Trent and I heard that John went to live in Cornwall many years ago.

Now we begin to get the picture of how it was back then, The British music scene was fantastic back then and carried a whole different set of fashion values with it. It ran alongside the soul and motown played at the Dungeon but the two were bound to mingle. I remember the London club the Marquee being mentioned in the same breath as some of the other clubs. Hence the different opinions of what we wore and when

There were core groups of people who regarded themselves as the king sh*its of the mod scene, you had to ignore it and get on with having a good time. Going to some far off club and spending the whole night Blocked out of your mind was not my idea of a good time'

Similar story! married with a child on the way we had no choice but to live with my parents, fortunately I had my name down on the council waiting list from a previous relationship and that came up trumps after a year when we were given a flat in Clifton. Two years later moved to where we are now, the mortgage was a mill stone untill the kids were in school and the missus could go out to work part time. Now here we are 44 years later in a marriage my mother gave 12 months.

hippo girl mentioned the mojo in sheffield and I remember quite a few of the mods went up there. The only excursion out of Nottingham I remember was when we got together with a guy named John Bates, for anyone that mignt remember him his family ran the bottom off licence on Orford ave in Clifton and he ran a chromed up VW Beetle back then. He took four of us up to The Twisted Wheel in Manchester but for reasons I can't remember we didn't get in and finished up at a place called The Whiskey Ago-go in Salford. A couple of our lads had a bit of grief with the local mods over girls but nothing ser

Can't believe this one, I think anyone wearing Bloomers with a mini skirt would probably have won the Comedians night Lol!

I bow to your superior knowledge of what you wore and when, feel compelled to point out though that with the Mini Skirt came the passion killers. My memory tells me that I must have gone out with some old fashioned girls in 1967.

I don't remember Mini Skirts being worn down the Dungeon or the flowers from Pete Stringfellow, I remember him being the DJ when the rockers tried to get in. Must be getting old and my memories mixed up.

I don't recognize either of the girls in the picture, I was never that lucky!

The reason I remember Pearces so well(or not so well) is because they had a competition back then in the early fifties just for local kids I think, all you had to do was think of a slogan for why pearces ice cream was the best. my dad asked me and I replied "because I like it" that went down as our entry which I took in to the factory in person. two or three weeks later we got an envelope through the door(on Bloomsgrove st) with a very nice letter and three Half Crowns in it.

Did you know any girls that lived Mansfield way frequented the eight bells there but came down to the Dungeon all nighters, the name Maxine comes to mind but I cannot be sure after all the years. I am still coming to terms with the fact that the Mini boys are now real people, pensioners like myself and not just people from the past. the last time I remember seeing Ray Tassi was in the Bellvedere I think in 67, I remember the suit and the tweed overcoat and his chat up line with a girl who was in there, "hello daring know a bit of class when you see it dont you" it's the reason I always rememb

I made a post about my first school last week in which I mentioned that I walked by Pearsons ice cream factory to get there, I was in error it was Pearces and the bit I remember was on Grant St off Ronald St.

Hmmm...no recollection of him. It does seem a few other people felt included, but not part of the core group maybe. Yes! I think there were more than just a few hangers on who always seemed to have something to prove. I only had one instance of the seedier side of the Dungeon at one all nighter when just two of us had gone down, myself and a mate named Vic Calladine. We were approached out side by three or four guys demanding money with menaces, my mate Vic knew one of them and they backed off and left us alone. All I can say about those kind of things is I am glad it's in their memories and

Good find DaveN! Hyson Green it was.

There is a guy name of Terry Heath who says he was one of the group used to go by the name of Rick down the Dungeon married a girl from sheffield. Pretty sure he was from Clifton as he dropped a few names of people I used to know and some that you have posted. Its a very old post on Friends Reunited and the only member of a place I don't recall "The Beat Club".

Lived and died in the place when I worked on the Albany Hotel in the late 60s, Both me and the wife when we were courting, always the "Dive Bar". Don't remember the old one though and I wonder if the cranes are building the car park above Mother Care can't imagine them starting the Albany until the buildings in the old picture had been demolished.

Hi Vintageann Nice to hear that Ray Tassi is still up and running I only remembered him because of an incident in the Belvedere but like I say post what you remember and likely someone else will pick up on it. Those times down the Dungeon for me only span from sometime in 65 through to sometime after the raid in 67, such a short time to remember all the details and peoples names but when others memories are combined with your own we get a much clearer picture so Welcome!
