hmmm guess i must be posh then as i does speak right proper like

Does any one know of any other names that Stadium Leisure at Basford was previously known by?

We used to go to Central Park (behind Palais) in the 80's and to a club on Huntingdon street we would cut through the Owd Boots pub to get there. I remember Eddie Kidd opening it but cant remember the name of it.

I did try to get the link off photobucket but failed.

OKAY JUST TESTING

it moved in 1983, i when to Manning on the Gregory Boulevard site which closed in July and stayed at the Forest school which opened in September 1983

not sure i thought it was Stirland Trailer Fitters (or something similar) Dad went on to work for Redferns after Bill finished, there was a very dodgy accountant (or thats what he said he was) called Warick. Was based at Hartley Road for a while and then up at Ilkeston.

My brother worked for Stirlands for many years

Derek is still alive and kicking, he is my dad and Maggie is my Mum. (they are still up the Green too) Bob Rutter well the beer was bound to get him in the end. Johnny Knowles moved to America but visits quite a few times a year so will pass on your message next time he pops in

i meant Reservoir, sorry

welli would show you the pictures but have no idea how to add them on here

Lucy Kelly is also dead, As is Ron Dyer but Johnnie Knowles is still alive and kicking (saw him at Christmas at my mum and dads house). I remember Bill when he was at Northgate in Basford many moons ago

Thanks for al the info. The picture i have where taken on my old phone show more details of the graves as we climbed over and flattened some of the overgrowth to get to them. I will get them off my laptop tonight and upload them for you. Think the watertower fits with the steps too

sorry the ones on the Bing map

hi Yes they are the steps i am asking about. Driving me mad trying to figure out what they are. When we look at pictures of the hall it doesn't look the same as these staps as these go right up to a porch like area on the ruins that we have seen and visable on the link. Lisa

hello again. My daughter and i have revisited the burial ground and managed to get in side. we took some photos of the 4 very grand graves in there . If anyone is interested in them please let me know. The plot was very overgrown with brambles and bracken and was hard work. Also can any one tell me what the area near the plot is. it is raised and has steps leading up to it. sorry i cant copy the picture from google earth put if the plot is at the top of the page the area i mean is to the bottom near (behind) Trough Lane Also does anybody know if and where the was a water tower in Watnall

i lived on Egypt Road and then Northgate as a child but that was 70's - 80's before that i lived on Ainsley Estate.

The family burial plot is still there in the middle of a cow field and looks like it is still maintained. It is a walled plot with railings with a huge tree in the middle of it. it is visable on google maps
