remember my dad telling me about when the first trucks and men first arrived at strelley to begin the motorway, a farmer sat in the middle of the road with a shotgun refusing to let them through, i started working for Douglas Construction on the 2 small bridges just after the nuthall access road, toward Trowell services, they have my initials, TLA, scratched on the bottom of the supports. many stories i remember working there.

hi dave 48, loved the walks up the village to the church, across the bridge toward kimberley, used to park me car at the little triangle where you turn off for the sandhills for a kip, on warm days, a lot quieter then.

Don't know where she is now, not seen her since i was 19 - 69 yrs old now,
this is Natalie Jackson on Midlands news, spitting image of Valerie, gorgeous or what -
Hi, MargieH, i would go back to when i was 19, and apologize the Valerie, the girl who thought i was the best, (silly girl), and i treated like s--t, she looked a little like Natalie Jackson, sport girl on Midlands news 18:30hrs. if i hadn't been so up meself i think we would have been a wonderful couple, constantly think about her nowadays

hope it is, wonder if any of you have read Edward Marstons Railway Detective Novels, one of them, 2nd i think, talks about a train on a viaduct, always imagine this picture of Forty Bridges when reading it, these were magnificent structures.
