Ayup John,

I just remembered reading your first post reminded of our outside "lavvy" dahn Medders

It were across the back yard and it contained the biggest spiders in Nottingham, about as big as sparrows, one thing for sure you didn't spend more time in there than was required, unless you were hiding from the old bat that lived further down the terrace. ( I think she could see through walls though because she always knew it were me throwing stones at her windows)

hi rog

i can remenber the old attic bedroom, i never would go up there it was never used as a bedroom but it was spooky as hell, they also had cellars, my mam told me a few people had the gas meters down there and a few were robbed by opening the steel grate outside where the coal was tipped in and getting into the cellar and rob the shilling meter, as for the bath it would be filled one and the family would take it in turn to get one lucky for me being the youngest i went first and my two sisters after god it must have took some filling. i would love to know what year those old st anns houses were built i bet it was pre 1800s. we also had some of those multi coloured tassles in the door way i used to do my tarzan impression untill the day they snapped an i ended up with a chin full of stitches if only i had my p.p.e on at the time mate ha ha

[Pubs closing or closed down]

Hi there. Now I've requested this forum, I'd better start the ball rolling.

Heard from my brother in Rise Park, that the Barleycorn and The Red Lion, both in Cinderhill, have or are going to, close down. My mother would turn over in her grave if she knew her watering holes were gone! Brother also said, that lots of pubs are closing at a rate of knots. I know the Cocked Hat in Aspley had gone, also the Duke of Newcastle in old Basford. Sad goings on.

HI THERE

PUBS ARE CLOSING ALL OVER THE PLACE IN NOTTINGHAM, THE POTTERS CLOSED DOWN (FOMERLY THE CAVALIER) ON BECKHAMPTON ROAD BESTWOOD, ALSO HEARD THE DUKE OF ST ALBANS TOP VALLEY IS TO SHUT AND THE CHARLIE 2 AT RISE PARK, MIND YOU THERE REPUTAITIONS HAS DONE THEM NO FAVOURS OVER THE YEARS, I DONT THINK IT WILL BE LONG BEFORE ALL LOCAL WATERING HOLES WILL CLOSE

HARVESTERS GONE

NELL GWYNN GONE

ROYAL HUNT GONE

STANDARD OF ENGLAND CLOSED

GREEN BARREL GONE

GOOSE FAIR (SPORTING CHANCE) GONE

THE DEAR STALKER LONG GONE

THE ONE I MISS THE MOST AND LOVED WAS THE WHITE HEART AT DAYBROOK HAD SOME GREAT NIGHTS IN THERE AND MORE NIGHTS I CANT REMEMBER ( THE HANG OVER) IT WAS ALL WAYS PACKED ON THE WEEKEND AND MOST NIGHTS OF THE WEEK

THANKS

BRAVO
