She wasn't local, but she's the actress who played Albert Finney's love interest in the film Saturday Night Sunday Morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67687117

Strangely nostalgic, because if you tried to do that today it would be difficult to find any busy shopping centres.

@OztalgianNice to see you're back here again. You've got a few football reports to catch up on !

Anybody we might know ?

Here's a photo of Cropwell Terrace, from 1977. Unfortunately it's spoiled by the intrusive watermark which PictureNottingham put on all their images. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm018136/posterid/ntgm018136.html

Local politician makes national headlines. Robert Jenrick, Conservative MP for Newark, has resigned from the Government over the Rwandan situation. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67640833

It's a pretty impressive place. Words like 'Light' and 'Airy' spring to mind. Absolutely none of your stuffy, dark corners in old buildings. And more computers and other tech than in several branches of Currys.

I think my footprint is fairly low/small. One car, which is 1.3 petrol. Not much long-distance travel by any other means. One average-sized property. And I’m not a Bitcoin Miner.

This subject has always fascinated me because I'd never heard of it until I joined Nottstalgia; but it seems I must be one of very few Nottingham people who didn't know about Christmas pork pies. There's even an old thread on the subject. https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/5103-xmas-pork-pie-breakfast/?tab=comments#comment-59446

Yes, I used to go with my dad to the Stock Car Racing in the late 1960s. https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/1302-long-eaton-stadium-stock-cars-and-speedway/?tab=comments#comment-10272

Looks like the actual building has gone. Sign of the times it's been replaced by a vape shop. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sc1wCe1MdPzsY7R97

Have you been fiddling around in Postimage ? (or whatever you use).

Ben, your Sneinton photo from Monday seems to have disappeared.

Certainly has round here. I'm looking out of the window watching lumps of snow dropping off cars.

Despite the weather this morning, postmen are still wearing big shorts.

There aren't any other threads covering this subject, so I reckon this can continue. I've slightly modified the title to reflect the new situation.

It's that strange phenomena - a really nice, original house in excellent condition, but in an area populated by all manner of dubious people. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/86664183#/?channel=RES_BUY

Despite this milestone, I suspect you're still one of the youngest people on Nottstalgia.

And you can also go on guided tours. I'm booked on one next week.

Oztalgian hasn't logged in since the above post on 13th. We're missing a few match reports. Hopefully he's still ok.

When I first saw the photo I honestly thought they were all staff.

You can tell that's a fairly recent photo.........Amazon vans everywhere these days.

That's prompted me to check, and mine has also appeared since the last time I looked at my bank statement.

The library on Nuthall Road (near the Commodore) is still there and still a library. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KztWtUq1sN74zvhBA If you spin the view around, you'll see the Commodore has changed a bit.
