Unfortunately we will argue from opposite stand points, and in view of the problems which I and my family are having to cope with at the present I may not be in a position to be totally polite regarding your views or perhaps even cogent so will say no more on the matter.

Just realised that Benton was the Labrador which herded the deer in Richmond Great Park and I actually should have referred to our old friend as D J Brenton!
-
Need to regard our voluntary agreement not to indulge in political argument, regardless of how important the subject is, otherwise it could so easily all "kick off"!
Good job that Benton is no longer around !!

Not with the p#55 poor management team in place at the moment, if it were a football team they would have been sacked a couple of years ago and an Italian brought in !!

Forgot to say that this would have been around about 1957/1958.

Once in Woolies record department I was star struck by seeing Wee Willie Harris in there, technicolour hair and bow tie, wide shoulder jacket, the lot! Quite a revalation because it wasn't that obvious on black and white telly. Even more surprising is to see that he is still around and apparently still performing at the age of 85!!

Loppy, you are right because this is the EU way, keep voting until they get the result THEY want!!

Don't be fooled, this is very little to do with copyright protection, there is a much more sinister agenda at work here but again, respecting our Forum agreement not to use this forum for political arguments, I say no more but you can easily find more info on the net and YouTube (at the moment at least) should you look a little further.

Wolseley 16/60 I reckon.
We bought a Silver Cross twin pram when the twins were born in 1973. We had originally ordered a standard single which had to be changed when we found out that double trouble was on the way, and even though we lived only a few miles from the Silver Cross factory in Guiseley, it took a couple of months before it was delivered.

Don't worry Mary, we are not leaving Europe, we are leaving the European Union and if Eurovision Song Contest is your thing, then the fact that Israel and Australia are included confirms that the organisers are not too bothered anyway!
It still means that the UK will get few votes as usual.

I was at that Forest Blackpool match, at the time used to stand just behind the kid`s enclosure. I felt so privileged to have seen The Wizard of the Dribble in action, even though by then he was, not unsurprisingly, past his best.

The car in Havelock Street would seem to be an MG Y type.

Is that a Sainsburys on the corner of Cheapside and High St under the Commercial Union offices? I can only remember it as a Pork Farms shop. If it was they must have had some competition from Burton's !

Horspools were great bakers (cue largo from New World Symphony!) and as a lad in the late 50`s when we moved to Rudd, it was my job early on a Saturday morning to walk up the village to buy a large loaf from Horspools. The shop was at the front of the bakehouse and at that time in the morning the bread was still warm and the aroma of freshly baked bread was mouthwatering. The loaf was wrapped in soft tissue paper but by the time I got back home I regret to say that getting on for half of that golden crust had somehow disappeared!
Regarding Ashmores, I always thought that it was fascinating to have to walk uphill inside a shop to get to the back.

School days eh Jill? The happiest days of your life !! Could be a cue for the NS choir when they arrive.

Fly, re the insidious so called GDPR directive, imposed by the unelected authoritarian cabal in Brussels, it's not about protecting you, it's about collecting more info on you to enable them to control you even more.

The way that things are going at the moment it seems to me that this nightmare could easily come to pass within the next 30 -- 40 years in western Europe.

Another dentist on Gregory Boulevard was Archer Birch where I was forcibly taken as a child. He later also had a surgery at his home on Kirk Lane in Ruddington and my Mum kept with his practice throughout the time he was operating.

Now here's a suggestion that no one will ever have thought of, why not turn the Guildhall into flats and with it being so close to the Trent Building it could be rented out to students for, say, a modest £1500 per month as I'm sure that Nottingham needs to attract a few more students to the City?
Here in Huddersfield every empty mill, factory, terraced house, shop and garden shed has been developed into student accommodation and I am staggered at the amount of rent that these poor penniless students have to pay (somewhat sarcastic smiley inserted here)

Dad used to play the piano on Saturday night at the Gladstone Liberal club.

How about The Garden Gate? Ian has a photo of it on the Demolished Memories thread, so I suppose I cheated on that one! Just to be pedantic, The Curzon was actually on Curzon Street, not actually on St Anns Well Road, it was on the corner of The Lammas which cut through to Huntingdon St.
-
Yes it was Ian, next door to Marsdens which was on the right hand side looking from Trinity Square, though I reckon it was demolished before our Ben`s time, shame really because it would have been right up his street as it also boasted a cafe and ballroom.
Just past, going towards Clumber Street, known then as Cow Lane, was the Robin Hood and Little John Inn which gave way to The Welbeck.

You were subjected to such an ordeal after being arrested for "thoughtcrime", the act of THINKING or HOLDING unspoken beliefs or doubts that were opposed by the totalitarian state.
In 1984 the past and history were erased, the erasure was forgotten and the Lie became the Truth.
To be fair to this Forum and our implicit agreement to no political discourse, I draw no conclusion as to what is happening in the UK right now but leave that thought for you to ponder upon, but be careful because thoughtcrime exists now.,

Did Shipsides have rooftop storage? Can't rightly remember but the building is in about the right spot and the construction looks similar.
