I was at Lady Bay School around 1957 - 58 and wondered if there was anyone out there who attended over those years. I lived on Edward Road and used to walk to school, over the canal bridge. Head teacher was a Mr Aske and there was a teacher called Mrs Millard and her husband was the lollipop man outside the school.

I used to walk down from school at the top of Waverley Street, through the Arboretum and into town to catch my bus home. One day my friend and I stopped on the grassy hill where there was a chap sitting holding a small pet monkey in a harness - I went to stroke it and it gave me a nasty bite!

Yes I remember the Lyons Tea House by Griffin & Spalding. It seemed huge inside. My bus home from school (No 57) used to stop just outside.

I I remember trying to drive home from work in Hucknall and getting totally lost by just watching the kerb from the passenger side and of course did not see junctions and ended up totally lost on my home to Redhill.

The Tudor - Saturday morning children's pictures!! Pocket money of 6d which also bought sweets. Watched strongman Steve Reeves films that always ended with a cliffhanger I lived walking distance on Edward Road. -
Still trying to work my round this site as did not have much success first time round and gave up! At rough guess it was around 1971 I was at Babels. Little dance floor with a resident belly dancer. Did a bit myself but that is another story!

Does anyone remember Burtons Arcade underneath the Council House. Got lovely bacon sliced as you waited. Lovely decorations throughout at Christmas.

I used to go into the cheese section on my way home from work on Friday (pay day). Used to get smoked cheese or Edam (Thought it was very sophisticated) for me and Stilton for my mum. You could smell the fish section all through the arcade some days.

Yes - I used to go in from Clumber Street and out through the Flying Horse exit. Do you remember when Boots was on Clumber Street and had a library upstairs? The shop downstairs used to pass change to customers along a pulley system attached to wires above.

I can vaguely remember the change system. Roughtons just down from Canning Circus had one as well, it used to fascinate me when I want in with my mum. The main thing I remember about Clumber Street is all the shoe shops on there.

Does anyone remember Alina Manka from University House School later to go on to Hollygirt School? Where did she go then? Last I heard she went to Aberdeen.

Was that the primary school on Haydn Road? My brother went there.

I was about 10 living in West Bridgford and my dad worked at the power station in Wilford. He finished his shift about 5.00pm and the smog came down and he tried to drive home. A colleague was also trying to get home on foot. He decided to help my dad and walked in front of his car with a torch all the way from Wilford to Edward Road in West Bridgford arriving hours later at night. He declined the offer of a bed for the night and decided he wanted to continue walking home and disappeared into the fog. My father was eternally grateful to him.

I remember the Hippo Club that always seemed to be playing Ride a White Swan and that song always reminds me of those days. Also I worked as a waitress at the Babel Club on Huntingdon Street with Kurt and Zak. I remember when Kurt's girlfriend Liz won a beauty contest and they went off with the prize of an African Safari. There were belly dancers there I recall.
