Probably not the right place to post this but here goes. I was having a clearout in the garage this morning and came upon this. It must be at least 30 year ode. Probably would taste no worst then when it was first brewed!!

I remember the Birdcage from the 70's. Downstairs was ladies/girls stuff and upstairs was blokes. I remember two of the guys who used to work there Greg Longdon and Tony Sulley, i played football with them first for Nottingham Jewish FC , we changed the name to Sparton Atheletic and played in the Sunday league. Happy days. Chas..

does anybody remember monkey park where Virgin Media is now.

I do, we used to live in Victoria Avenue off Sneinton Dale late 50's to about 1963. We used to play football down there a lot. I remember there was a bowling green as well as swings and i think there was a slide there as well. There was also some sort of water treatment next to it. Used to knock around with Jimmy Roberts and Tony Pearson, where are they now i wonder? Live in Ilfracombe since 1979, lifes hard! !tanning!

[Netherfield]

Thats amazing, he certainly must have kept his customers happy. I was talking about 1966 when i remembered the shop.

[Netherfield]

There used to be a really good cycle shop there as i recall.

[Various old shops, now gone.]

Macfisheries was on South Parade alongside the square, i think there was a Norwich Union insurance office next door. It was later a branch of Halfords, Macfisheries did their own budget whisky called MacWhisky! Chasper. smile2
