I once dropped a 10p coin in the pub & it rolled under the bench seat.......................I went to retrieve it & came up with about a quid in bits.(cleaners? can't get the staff these days ) I worked (joke shop placement) for a short time in a place that recycled furniture, & each time we had a sofa come in I would look behind/under the cushions: surprising how much I "found"

There was a lot of houses built in the Wollaton Avenue Area in the late 50s I can remember the Shelford Road area being open fields. Lascelles Avenue ended at the junction of Rufford Avenue beyond that there were orchards(bottom of "Donkey Hill") & open fields all the way to Arnold Lane. -
