[Dickie Dido's cave]

Dicky Dido's cave was south of the sandstone 'fork' cutting going into Bulwell Common Station, between the 'Golden Ball Bridge' from St.Albans Road to the crossing at Cantrell Road. It was not so much a cave, but a 'dug out' into the sandstone. Spent many hours walking up and down the disused cutting as a teenager and sheltering in Dicky Didos cave to have a 'fag' if it was raining along with a few other 'likely lads'. We would have gone in the Golden Ball if the landlord would have let us, but alas he thought we were too young. Good Job 'Jack' at the Oxford, and the landlord of The 'Billy' didn't care how old we looked, as long as we could pay for the pints of 'mixed'. Hope this helps Steve.

[Were you at Berridge?]

I started Berridge Infants in 1961, but was 4 at the time... Think the parents wanted rid Stayed until 1968 when I progressed (or regressed) to High Pavement. Just wondering if Jill Sparrow is the 'Jill M' I remember?
