Not quite sure about it`s history but I believe I may have been one of the first students 1943 or 45 We had a smart Uniform and The Blazer Badge was 3 or 4 Bearded Needles ( As used in Knitting Machines ),Headmasters name was Mr Hadrill. , The only thing I remember regarding Textiles is reclaiming some Old Knitting Machines in " Blacks Factory " up North Sherwood Street, we washed all the parts in Paraffin and we got the Machines up and running, I remember doing an exhibition at the Y.M.C.A . I endeed up starting my working life as a trainee Sewing Machine Mechanic at William Gibsons on Thurland Street. in 1947

Bales Ice Cream was on Repton Road , you went down to the side door and knocked and Mrs Bales or someone ( They had a son Fred ).would take you to an outhouse further down the yard and serve you with the best Ice Cream in Town, we would call in after playing all day on Bulwell Common The best Fish and Chips were on Repton Rd also and not forgetting the Beer Off . Would John be my age 79 ? Think I went to school with him.

Is the Clock ( With " Clarke " on the face still hanging outside the shop where Ken Clarke M.P. lived before he went to " Bread & Lard Island " , It was a few years ago when last I went by.
In a book by Peter Bowles ( Bulwell Actor Made Good !!! ) He once met Ken at The Garrick Club and wanted to reminisce about their Council Estate background ,but Ken apparrently , wasn`t keen to rember his days at BULWELL.
The shop was in that row near Northern Bridge on the Bulwell side.

Bulwell Hall Estate was known in my youth as " Chinatown , because when the tallyman or weekly collector knocked at the door asking for Mrs ***** the answer was " Shintin "

thats really interesting Danny.
I think i've asked this question before but cant find the link. Hucknall had 3 stations i believe. One on watnall Rd (where the doctors surgery is now), one where the existing station still is, and i think i was told there was one opposite Station Hotel but on Linby Road (where some bungalows are now built and where the double roundabout is near Tesco). i know nothing about the latter. what was it called? does anyone have any pics please?

Obviously any photos or info on where to see most welcome, thanks

Can anyone recall the location of the NCT 42 Northern Baths 'trackless' turn-around, was if before - or beyond - the GN overbridge? IIRC, it was at the 'throat' provided by the Saxondale Drive turn...my mate reckons they ran on to Piccadilly to turn, but I reckon his dementia is kicking in!
Cheers

We used to have a Pint or Three in " The Three Hoss shoes" down some steps off Highbury road and near the Station, before going up for a dance ( Or attempting to ) I believe a Mrs Holmes ran the Dance

All the lads would get their Gaberdine suits at Beales in the 50`s , Electric Blue was the favourite shade, and then strut around with their Suede shoes at " The Barn ( Astoria ) I remember buying a pair of Suedes I even recall the brand " Cathedral " , on the box it stated " They will wear out the Pavement. Me and a mate used to get in the Ice Stadium on Hockey nights for free , but after each section we had to rush around collecting Glases in the Bar and then rush back to our seats without missing too much. On Alfreton Rd Chuck Zamick had a Home or a Shop , I can`t quite remember.
