The Pianoman

They are women on there but most appear to be just onlookers

DAU 462 would be a 1937 registration.

It would be around 1996 when I saw it there. I used to drive for a local coach company picking up mentally handicapped and people with learning difficulties. Used to pick up opposite Oakdale Garage up a side street giving me plenty of time for a good look. Run finished at a place for educating these near the top of Ransom Road. Springwood I think it was called.

I came very close. It was a Nottingham city registered car (TO I think), but black wasn't available as a 'standard' colour on a P5B and was only available to special order. Even then it was very cheap at £2700. I would still like to know who the first owners were. I have no idea where the car is now.

Was it a black one?

It seems Albert Ball's grave isn't that far from my Gt. Uncle Georges grave at Lillers, Northern France.

It was a browny maroon and dark red I believe. The maroon wasn't as muddy as it looks in the picture.

Site is OK for speed but I have lost the header at the top and I have new search options.

I've got them under the eaves too.

Aaah! A bit like the 6 wheel trollies then. all KTV *** which in theory was 1949 reg but they were registered up to 1953.

** ATO must be 1956 registered. Picture taken 1973? not bad I don't suppose. I learnt to drive in a PD2/40 of 1967 vintage. That was front entry Metro-Cammell bodied. Ex Salford City Transport JRJ 268E.

Not exactly a pub but......... i lost another customer https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/staff-heartbroken-shock-sudden-closure-1801024

They've been having them in Morrison, Eastwood until recently. Reckon the HSE police have put a top to it.

Reg. on the Mk2 Consul would be worth a bob or two now. Looks like 3 FAL

My Grandfather did a lot of his drinking in Le Grand - and he did A LOT of drinking! He was a Mitchells and Butlers man!

Its a right handful!

What made me look twice at those two pictures is that on the first picture you can see the Council House. On the second picture it appears to have been demolished!

Perhaps the lorry rolled back as the tram was approaching. None of us know what happened so stop guessing.

So it does. I didn't look at it!

Always knew it as Le Grand.

You probably have the same version of PlayMemoriesHome that I do. I very rarely use it but have just tried to open it and it caused my computer to hang up. I have Windowze 10 with all updates. Try re-insalling PMH from Sonys website and it will only install the bits that are lost, leaving your saved work intact.

Raglan Little John Mk 2, Atlas 10F and Myford ML7 with a milling attachment on the back of it it. Metal working lathes of course. Ancient bench drill. Small sensitive drill made from kit of castings. Myford ML8 woodworking lathe with range of attachments. Edit; Just noticed that adds up to a good few Nottingham products

I would only ever have been pushed past it in me push chair!

Its certainly an MG. Not in to MG's so no idea what type

It does. When anybody mentions Vernon Road to me I instantly think of Catchems - Cropley Institute of Boozing!
