Hi mgread We used to live in Sneinton and in the 50s before Clifton was built me and my parents sometimes caught a Gotham bound South Notts bus and visited the cafe,which at that time was on the other side of the road to the present one, and I was under the impression it was owned by a family named Rowe or Roe,then after tea and ice cream a long

Bubblewrap I first heard that joke on That was the week that was in the 1960s and it was told by Millicent Martin

You mean Sergeant Curtis and his policedog Frankie

Hi 2mortar1 Sorry,I don't recall the Fletchers,I also lived on Farnborough Rd but neither me or my other half,Alan Mee,went to school in Clifton I went to Mundella and he went to Greenwood.We both lived in Clifto from !953 t0 1963 when we got married.Brian Cupitt,who we both new from the Locarno Days,was a few years older than Mick.

Hope we don't get drawn against Florist,we want a BIG team next round

Brian and Mick did live at Clifton,on Farnborough road near the Comp school Brian being the oldest and a good friend of mine,and their name ws Cupitt

In the latter years Pipewood was mixed,I went in 1955/56/57 and the last two years were mixed fabulous memories of that place especially when it was mixed

The first youth club leader at Clifton in about 1956ish was a Mrs Machin,I think she was some relation to the Notts County director,then webby took over and it was run as a proper youth club. I went there from its opening to when it moved to the new premises

At least it's saved the taxpayers of Nottingham having to fork out for a new Sh*tty Ground for Rushcliffe Rovers to play on

There used to be a coffee bar somewhere near the top of Hockley called the Bohemian about 1959/60

Froggy They still wear black and white and the club where the rotten stand burnt down was the sh*tty ground across the river.

Hi Cliff I lived in Clifton from 1954 t0 1963 its now nothing like the place it used to be.
