  1. bit late on this post but really would like to comment on missing not only the pub locally called the Glue Pot, real name White Hart, in Carrington, but the whole area, which has just about disappeared. Glue Pot, (White Hart), was at the bottom of Ramsey St. & Babworth St. Dad lived at 21 Ramsey St. i would often sit on the step of pub on Babworth St. listening to the old uns singing inside, this was around 1948-50. Many happy memories, happy happy memories.

  2. remember being sent to skeg boys holiday camp, was quite ill at the time, second night there wet the bed, next morning i was stood in front of all the others and humiliated by so called adults, then made to strip bed, wash sheets and use old ,mangle to wring out then put sheets out to dry, went to the swimming baths, didn't have bathers so was given a pair of shorts 3 sizes too big, hated every second i was there.

  3. i remember Woollies down bottom of Hockley mam would take me and sister to Sneinton Market going from City Centre up to Thurland St. then down Hockley passed Wigfalls, (pay rental on Telly set), and into Woolworths, always remember getting lost when i was about 5yrs old in there and the staff stood me on top of a counter so mam could see me.
