  1. I've got a couple of these passed down from my grandfather. They're school prize medals in his case.
  2. That's the sort of strength we could do without.
  3. Yes, I used to watch NLD in rugby union's county championship in the 80's and 90's. I watched them at Nottingham RFC's ground in Beeston and later on at Newark RFC. I've not heard of the county matches for years now. I
  4. Shame to see the "Foresters Inn" is to be demolished. I quite liked that one. And was it really a "LGBT" pub? I never knew that.

  11. It's sad to see such a beautful buiilding being demolished.
  12. The book "Nottinghamshire Air Crashes" by David Needham has quite a bit of information on the 1944 Wellington crash if anyone is interested? It crashed on 12th August 1944 in Iremonger's Field alongside the railway line, Wilford Village. It includes some photos of the site today.
