    What a great shame that the Nottingham bygones newspaper is ending with it's last newspaper in October of this year, it has been great to read the stories that bring back so many great memories of the great days of our times in Nottingham. it will be sadly missed by so many people all over the world and we have to Thanks the editor Andy Smart for all the hard work he has put into this newspaper.

    What are we going to do to get to hear about old times in Nottingham like we used to in the Nottingham Bygones ?

      I echo your comments. Over the years I have had the odd copy given to me by my brother and have the Bygones books, so for my birthday my brother gave me an annual subscription. The first edition I received in August told me that the September edition would be the last!! Apparently we all want newspapers on line today!!!! This ignores totally the way that Bygones was thought of, at least by me, as a publication to be saved and referred back to for reference and enjoyment. They can stick their on line offering where the Sun don't shine as far as I am concerned!!

      Erratum: first edition received in SEPTEMBER advised last one would be OCTOBER.

      I feel the same way with regards to the Bygones newspaper it is a great way of reading story's of the great times in Nottingham and as I live in Australia it has been a great help in bringing back memories of great times of my youth, sadly all that is lost and who wants to read the newspaper on line ? not me.

      at least I managed to get my last story in the October Bygones .

    I live in Australia and would like to know if any of the readers ever lived in Isandula road Basford as I was born there in 1944 and emigrated to Australia in 1968. Let me know ?
  23. Bigfish
    Bygones newspaper should consist of more and more of the readers stories .
  24. Bigfish
    I live in Australia and I along with many others have the Bygones delivered monthly and over the past few months we have noticed that many of the stories are of war and less of the readers stories that we find more interesting than the stories they have been printing, what do you and others readers thank ? I know of over 30 readers that have the bygones delivered and feel the same.
  25. Bigfish
