If you zoom in on CT's aerial pic of the police station, it is clearly a flat roof. The building almost matches the prefabs built post-war along Nuthall Rd. They were flat roofed too. Was the police station built post war too?

Beekay, if they were the only Nissan huts in Nottingham then that's where my uncle and family must have been. They got rehoused in a council house somewhere near Wells Rd after that.

Lizzie. I can see where you see Information missing an A but the H is missing in Shire above it. i think it looks like 2 halves of a picture have been spliced together making those letters disappear. The pic below all letters are there.

Very interesting article. i remember as a child in the 50's, a small police station in the middle of Melbourne Rd, Aspley. I have never seen a photo of it though. It is not mentioned in the article.

Sis-in-law lives on Portree Drive. Not sure if the large house across from her (corner of Portree and Brownlow) was a doctor or a dentist when they moved there Sept 1972. Up the side of their bungalow and at the top is the entrance to Bestwood Country Park.

Caught a few minutes of Wimbledon on the telly yesterday. Packed audience and not a mask in sight.

Our office at Raleigh had a Diddlum club for Christmas. Also had a Fuddle club to save for things like a party or a trip.

Oh my goodness, Jonab, how awful for you. I did wonder where you were lately, never imagined you were going through all that. Sending positive vibes for your situation to improve.

Could it be Roughton's?

Beekay you are correct. The train went over Bells Lane at street level.

Newcastle Wharf I do believe, which was opposite Basford Rd and the Newcastle Arms.

Doctors will treat you as a patient in need, they won't turn you away. You would then be billed and a payment plan worked out, often discounted.

If either of their stools had been empty, we'd have loved to sit on them.

Our friend's pool had a sign on the wall. Welcome To Our Ool. Please note there is no P in it.

Jill, many years ago a friend had her cat stuck up a large pine tree, and had been there a couple of days. My friend asked the man who worked for the electric company to bring his 'cherry picker' vehicle out and rescue her cat. The man asked my friend, when is the last time you saw a cat's skeleton in a tree? She said never. Right, he said, the cat will come down when it's hungry, put cat food out. She did and it came down!

I don't know who thought the city needed a 2nd indoor shopping centre. If I remember correctly, Victoria Centre was still fairly new when they started BM. I guess they thought, if one was good, 2 were better. It never did take off, and a quick turnaround in a lot of shops. I never liked it, myself, and only shopped at BHS.

I'm so pleased you 2 and our cousins met up, even if it was briefly.

My dad did signwriting for 3 coach builders that I know of. Reg Watson of Bulwell, NCV on Bullwell Common, and John Rann of Arnold.

Don't feel bad Colly, someone on a Brit expats site on there, called someone a silly goose, and got a 24hr ban, I assume for bullying. You have to laugh!

Of all the 45's I bought as a teenager, I can only remember 1 shop I went in once, to listen to a record in a booth, before buying it. I seem to think it was downstairs at Pearson's on Long Row. I must have gone in other shops but have no recollection of them. Most likely Woolies was one. Seem to think the singles cost 6/8. I bought quite a few E.P's which must have cost a bit more.

My hubby grew up on Alma Rd opposite Manvers School. He lived at number 2 and across the road at number 1 was a Pat Wright. Born 1947? Could this be your Pat Wright ?

I read this to hubby and he laughed too. He then said his dad had the same car and a HEATER was optional. Hard to imagine nowadays.
