  1. I didn't know the area but looking on Google Maps (the link below), the path doesn't seem to still be there. Gauntley Street is top/right and the only path coming away from it can be seen going straight through the wasteland and over the railway line on a footbridge. Looking along the Leen further south there's housing (Meadow Brown Road) where I assume your path would have gone. https://maps.app.goo.gl/w5tPS7yJLyxGL3bw6
  2. The photo on that Youtube video is also an interesting reminder of extreme male facial hair which was popular in those days.
  3. That could be a location for a forthcoming Meet-Up.
  4. I bought the first two Cockney Rebel LPs when they were released. I liked them; they were interesting and original. People with long memories might remember the first single 'Judy Teen'.
  5. The subject of voting for someone who has changed to a different political party highlights the question of whether - in an election - you vote for a person or a party. For instance…if you were a dedicated Labour voter, but you didn’t like or approve of the candidate - would you still vote Labour ? If you liked the candidate as a person, but didn’t agree with their party politics, which way would you vote ?
  6. @katyjay and @Alpha Picture Nottingham have a few photos of that row of houses. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library.html?keywords=whitemoor avenue
  7. One of the downsides of making Nottstalgia visible to a Google search is that it also lets in a few spambots advertising their strange services.
  8. Last Tuesday I sent a message to the email address which Albert used to register on NS. A week later I haven't yet had any response.
  9. It's named on old, large-scale maps; just up from Chapel Street.
  10. Welcome to Nottstalgia Michace29. I assume you've read all the earlier posts in this thread and you've identified the correct building. If you look back starting at June 28th 2019, you'll see there's potential for confusion regarding Whitemoor House, Whitemoor Cottage, and Whitemoor Lodge, which were different places but close to each other.
  11. Always liked the Mamas and Papas; and this is a great example of why they were good.
  12. I'll resurrect this old thread because Facebook has told me that today (March 9th) is Margie's birthday yet again. So happy birthday again
  13. An update on the current status of some of the Notts branches of Wilko. https://westbridgfordwire.com/wilko-whats-happened-to-nottinghamshire-stores-after-collapse/
  14. Just seen my first 24-reg car. They've been out a week.
  15. I also read his autobiography several years ago when he used to come to the evening meet-ups at the Roebuck. I was expecting a few sheets of A4; it was almost a Dickens-length book which took several days to read. It would be nice to think it had been preserved and available for other people to see.
