C'mon Moz, make this available to those of us not on Twitter.

Well done Rog. Incidentally did you see The One Show the other night when one of the reporters went to Norton Disney? Apparently Walt Disney went there in 1949 looking for his ancestors in the churchyard.

The Issoms lived in a house on Norman Villas when I was there. At No. 7 were an old couple, Mr and Mrs Pritchett. Mrs Pritchett babysat me occasionally. Then further towards the right hand end lived the Issoms. My parents bought a dining table off them and discovered it was riddled with woodworm!

Nathan, so I think you must have lived one side of the 'entry' and I lived the other side, albeit several years earlier. A morbid story concerning your house, if that was the one, was that there was a spinster living there during my time next door who committed suicide by gassing herself in the house! I do remember her, my parents invited her in for a drink on a Christmas morning and ......... funny the things you remember ....... I was lying on the floor reading my Rupert Annual that Santa had just brought me!! I remember my Mum saying after the poor lady had been found dead that she was t

Nathan, all I remember is that Shirley's Dad (his name might have been Sam) was a builder of some sort. I don't have that many memories of my Netherfield days and was only 8 when we moved to Arnold.

Hi Nathan, welcome to Nottstalgia. I lived a 6 Norman Villas from my birth in 1949 until March 1958. I don't remember any of the neighbours at that time other than a girl my age called Shirley Issam. (Not sure if that's correct spelling)

I remember a lady with no nose Compo but that was down the Medders.

I used to do Meals on Wheels years ago and loved it (only stopped because we moved away from the area). The old house-bound folk loved having a visit, especially when I arrived with their lunch! I still think about one particular old lady often. She was totally blind and had been since she was young. I would knock on her door and then go to the window to watch her get off the sofa and work her way around the room to reach the door to unlock and let me in. As I walked in she would always say that her plate was in the oven. The oven was never on and the plate was always stone cold but never

Not seen that message for several weeks, feel lucky!

Did I see you there today Engineer? I saw two chaps holding plans and looking down onto the area where the clock once stood.

Receding chin and beards ........ as in Damon Hill amongst others.

So lovely, thanks for finding that poohbear

Welcome to Nottstalgia Dillb, sit back and enjoy!

I remember so clearly Crocus Street, The Meadows being mentioned on Family Favourites one Sunday lunchtime way back in the 50s or 60s and my Mum ( who was a Meadows girl) laughing when Jean Metcalfe said what a lovely address it was.

I'm same as Darkazana ! But will see you at the meet- up next week hopefully ;-)

I watched the webcam for quite a time yesterday when the update came through. The little chick was out of the nest box at that time and Mum was feeding him and not the other three. She may have already fed the others before I turned on. Little 'erbert was nice and podged by the time she flew away with the remnants of a pigeon and he was having a good attempt at getting back into the nest. You'd think Mum could have grabbed him round the neck and dragged him in.

Where's Gerry got to anyway?

Get a dog ....... dog walkers usually acknowledge one another, except yobbos with trophy dogs! We have strange neighbours directly opposite our house. They won't even look in our direction, never mind smile. In 10 years the bloke has spoken to us twice, one time when his cat was up a tree in our garden (I think because our dog chased it up there;-) ) and the second time when he reversed out of his driveway and bumped into a car belonging to a visitor to our house. I've actually walked almost alongside each of them along the road but I may as we'll be invisible. There's nowt so queer as fol

Welcome to Nottstalgia Russell ! I live in Mapperley Park and although I've never had to drive to Keyworth in the mornings I would think it would be a fairly easy commute as you'll be going away from town rather than with the masses driving into the city. I don't think that Nottingham traffic is particularly bad and the public transport is really good but not ideal for the route you need to take.

I agree Jet ....... on Tuesday when Bilboro-lad moves to Carlton Hill he's going to be posting lots of pics of his new surroundings

Loppylugs # 72 I'm impressed with what you learnt at Chandos Street

Yes we do go off at tangents ......... good innit?!!!

I've been in a church in Bethlehem that was built on the site of the stable where Jesus was said to have been born. I believed the tour guide .........

So what? It wasn't so hundreds of years ago. You just like an argument!

East Midlands Airport is in Leicestershire and Yorkshire has always tried to claim our Robin, but we have Nottingham Castle and a Sheriff.
