Babs, Hatrick says she lived at No 51.

Ok I see the road sign and must have looked at it hundreds of times over the years but I always thought, like NewBasfordlad that the name changed at the bend in the road. But, regarding the Sandfield Road gardens backing onto the railway cutting, my brother's garden not far up from the junction, is really quite long. Anyway, I'll let you train buffs get back to your topic!

I always relate the Shipping Forecast to Listen With Mother ! I think it was on the wireless just before or just after my favourite radio programme in the early fifties.

Re post # 78 Well that bridge would be the one that was just left of the bottom of Breckhill Road, near where the roundabout is now. I do remember that one. My brother's house is JUST out of shot on the picture Cliff's put up, # 75.

Yes right, I've been over that bridge thousands of times but don't remember it being lowered post-railway era! maybe it was before I lived up that way.you enjoying your new camera Rob?!

Oh that is so sad Hatrick, I'm sorry for you and of course your wife. There is one member who has posted hilarious stories about Manning School, although she hasn't been on Nottstalgia for a while. Her pen-name is Jill Sparrow, I'm sure there's a way of looking up specific posts by her, someone will be on shortly to tell you how. Also other folk will tell you how to get old photos up from a website called Picture the Past. Sorry, I'm not very good at giving links. I wish you both well and hope that your visit to Nottstalgia will prove useful.

Is that the bridge in the distance that carries Arno Vale Road? Whilst on the subject of that road, did the bridge exist over the railway? Not much room for a train under there .......

I've been in that church just once, in 1962 when I was a 12 year old Godmother! On that day 6 of my young cousins were baptized at the same time.

Nice day for it Rog, hope you back to full fitness soon. (Even 4 miles on a trike puts most of us to shame)

Welcome Smiffy, I'm sure you'll find lots to interest you on Nottstalgia.

Sorry all, I always thought Roy was Elton's uncle. Apologies!

How sad, he was a clever actor. RIP Trigger

No, Roy Dwight was Reg Dwight's uncle, maybe still is if he's still alive ........

Here in Nottingham we only now get neighbourhood cats and a lovely variety of garden birds. We used to see quite a few foxes but think the two harsh winter must have killed them off. Even the takeaway remnants dropped by possibly the younger generation because I do think us oldies were brought up not to drop litter, are still there on the pavements for days, a couple of years that rubbish would have been eaten overnight by foxes. However, when we lived in rural Hertfordshire a few years ago, we had all sorts to see in the garden. Foxes, squirrels, deer and even a pair of wallabies! I hones

A very Happy Birthday Paulus! Hope you're having a lovely day.

Ah, Little Sport with his massive sticking up fringe. I remember him so well. That has reminded me of how quickly the Football Post was printed and sent out. My dad had hardly got home from the match before the paper was pushed through the letter box. Years later he had to go to the paper shop to collect it just before they closed but often he couldn't get it until Sunday morning. A bit like the Nottingham Evening Post ........ once upon a time there was the early edition and the final edition each day. Now there's only one edition which is available late morning but been printed the ni

From my memories of that line, which was closed before I even knew it existed, the houses you can see in the distance will be Sandfield Road. I used to play around there in the late 50's / early 60's and when I was at Kingswell Junior School Arnold, we were taken on nature walks in that area. From Sandfield Road there was a dirt track leading towards the railway line, very much a country lane. This track is now Greendale Road, lined with houses built in the late 60's. Down this track was a little stream, narrow enough to jump over. We would catch 'toe-biters' in that stream. Then a little

Had a spot of lunch in the 4 Seasons (or Terrace Restaurant) just today! It's been years and years since I've been in there. Must say it's a bit run down but pleasant enough.

Poor man (in next room), hope he'd bought travel insurance

Enjoy your trip Stan!

Hot X buns on sale in our local Co-op already. Won't be long before the chocolate cream eggs are being pushed at the till. Easter's not for another 14 weeks .......

Well if Cliff Ton paid 6/8p for a single in 1967 I suppose my memory has failed me (again), in 1962/63 when I made my first record purchase it would have probably have cost about 5 bob ........

First single I ever bought was 'Telstar' by the Tornadoes, think it cost 6/8p in about 1963 (?) and I've still got it somewhere. The first LP I bought was also 'Please Please Me'.

I'll make sure we don't go out that night!

We'll never trust him again Carni! He escaped from his cage to go round wrecking the house! Damn fireworks!! The next test will be Chinese New Year, whenever that is .......
