  1. This bit of stone work has been 'on display' in a backstreet of Old Lenton for as long as I can remember, and it claims to be a remnant of Lenton Priory. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9429,-1.178637,3a,37.5y,351.81h,85.22t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1siqJHVgAmxg2qpFatRMEHkQ!2e0?hl=en And if you want more information about Lenton Priory http://www.lentontimes.co.uk/images/gallery/priory_street/priory_st_listener_49.htm
  2. I can see why you've pointed it out ! http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10545&hl=superstitions
  3. I'm posting this on behalf of piggy and babs, so if you have any questions on the subject please direct them to babs, not me. It's a reunion for all the old bikers who have ever been to the White Hart (and those who still do).
  4. I remember hearing that one when I was younger, and even back then I didn't understand it and thought it was stupid.
  5. Only from her post, unfortunately. As quoted in the other thread, it's amazing that Cameron is being sympathetic towards her http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26951464
  6. This may answer some questions. It's always worth doing a search on Nottstalgia first. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11210&hl=beckinsale
  7. If anyone was wondering what they looked like.... http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM018495&prevUrl= http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NCCC000979&prevUrl=
  8. Post #35 on this link (and it will save you asking about other cinemas as well ! http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3939&page=2
  9. Dave Mann music shop is still there at 123 Mansfield Road.
  10. There are several threads already on Nottstalgia about old cinemas in Nottingham, including..... http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11840&hl=cinema http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9&page=2&hl=cinema#entry159623 http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3939&page=7&hl=cinema#entry152461
  11. I hope you have printed and framed your original message. The fact that you were able to post it means that it is the most important piece of typing you have ever done !
  12. Before and After makes interesting viewing (with the closest I can get from Streetview). The Off Licence building is still recognisable by its decorative brickwork above the entrance. Otherwise, I know which version I prefer.
  13. I suspect I'm not the only person who's wondering "What is or was cavo cow sheds"?
  14. I know it's not in this photo, but weren't they along this stretch, maybe in this block? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM014664&prevUrl=
  15. You live in an off-licence?
  16. Is it what is now the Rescue Rooms ? http://www.dreamtargets.com/nottm80s/gallery_0038.htm
  17. PTP has quite a lot of Denman Street photos. I remember it from the early 60s because my grandma often mentioned it, so it was obviously her main shopping area (along with Hartley Road which she also referred to). Looking at the photos now, it almost looks as though there were more shops than houses, difficult to believe there were enough customers to go round. The kind of place like Arkwright Street and Alfred Street which no longer exist.
  18. This one? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM017392&prevUrl= The answer is Yes. Today it looks like this.http://goo.gl/maps/hPTlk
  19. Also mentioned in this thread http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10529&page=1
  20. Stretching it a bit to call it Sneinton Hermitage. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Death-man-Sneinton-treated-unexplained/story-20920321-detail/story.html
  21. Babs, I think it's this one http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10738
  22. One of the curious benefits of the internet. If you are a member of a forum such as this you discover that when you are ill, there are a lot of people all over the world - who you've never met and have no idea what they look like - who will be concerned about your health and well-being. So best wishes to Paul and Helen.
  23. A crowd of people at Land's End in 1950. The Nottstalgia link is that they are all from Nottingham. It's an old family photo and includes my mother's parents (who lived at Grimston Road, Radford) and two aunts who lived at Garden Street, Radford. So it could be an organised trip from the Radford/Lenton area, or maybe it's just a Skills/Barton package holiday with people from all parts of Nottingham. Out of 34 people, I only know 4 of them, so the others may be related to you. They are definitely all from Nottingham.
  24. My dad was there in the late 1930s - early 40s.
  25. Mundella has been mentioned in this thread quite a bit, but so far no photos. Here's 30+ of the old place. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?&user_keywords=mundella&operator=AND&town_village=&date_period=&database=&action=search&keywords=Ref_No_increment%2CDisk_No%2CLocal_Accession_No%2CMap_Reference%2CTown_Village%2CLocation%2CTitle%2CDate_of_Image%2CDate_Period%2COther%2CForm_completed_by%2CKey_Terms%2CThemes%2CKeywords%2CPhotographer%2CArtist%2CEngraver%2CPublisher%2CForm_of_Acknowledgment%3BCONTAINS%3B%25mundella%25%3B&page=1
