how old were you then vic what year my husband lived near the priory church in old lenton he is 66 next month and went to dunkirk juniors and then on to cotesmore boys scool used to walk up grove rd ever day to call for his mate pat clark we lived on grove rdand stilled there in the 1980 in the later years with his wife. as clifton sez part of grove rd is still there right side going down from the grove pub but the left side including the chip shop and bereoff came down in the 80s and was replaced by flats. it certainly looks different now on that side of the rd.

remember in the sixties going to stop the night with my friend on hill rd bestwood i hated walking across that bit of track day and late nights to get to and from her house it was dangerous then and even more so know with the tram if it saves just one life being lost benjimin its worth every penny in very recent years at least 3 lives gone and that not even thinking about the effects it had on train tram drivers who hit or had near misses.

just read your status profile roy and it answered my question and your last comment on there i dought it very muchand what difference dose it make if you are you are what you are and it certainly makes no difference to me. think when i went to see it was very early sixties think i was still at junior school or mayby 1st year senir that was 1962on the forest definitly also remember going to billy smarts circus perhaps a little earlier than that again on free ticketsgot my arm bitten by a giraffe while going to see the animals in a tent at the end of the show bloody hurt and that was throught

welcome roybakewell what your bike hope you enjoy the site

another usefull tip i was given when i first went was before you go is make notes of names dates you know for sure startig from your parents grand paerents ect at your age you might find some a bit easier as they may still be alive and be happy to give you information ot there parents grand parents that they may remember sit down and talk to the older members of your family if you can tape or vidieo these convesation the next generations might be interested in this in the future i only wished i had done this with my parents when i was younger.
