    Sue, opposite your shop would have been Days the Grocers on the corner of Kirkby St. There is a very good book called The Nottingham Meadows, with lots of pictures in. Think it's available at most book shops.

    I think there was a pub called the Moulders arms on Bovill St off Hartley road. This was a fairly new pub, perhaps replacing an older one.

    Highest point in Nottingham is Dorket head. Highest in Nottinghamshire is the old Silver hill pit near Kirkby, some one said you can see Lincoln Cathedral from there.

    I saw an "astiste" called Stormy day once at the Carlton, she used a whip. She caught my bus the next day, she lived at Clifton and i did recognise her with her clothes on.
