Hi Tutanic, Your thread about the 1600E is a little flawed. They did not have a Lotus Engine in them, the running gear was the same as a 1600GT. The Lotus Engine was a twin cam that may have shared the same block but the heads were totally different as was the carburation. Hope this helps. Sent by jac47uk's son

Hi Cliff Ton Wondered if you knew what year that photo was taken?

Happy New Year to all As a newbie to this site I was very excited when I found this particular topic: 50's Nottingham - Peveril Street posted by Mister T Sept 11th 2009 At the start of Dec 2013 I, after having counselling , was able to access my adoption papers My birth mother was Agnes Eva Perkins, shopkeeper, 76 Peveril Street Her sister-in-law was Annie Godward who ran the shop in the 70's If there is anybody who has any memories of Peveril Street especially 1946-50 I would really greatly appreciate any replies jac47uk

Thanks for the info Bilbraborn might have seen you about as lived at 74 Hood Street from 1970-83

Thanks very much Commo and Carni for the warm welcomes Totally agree about the addictiveness haven't wrote too many posts as for the last 2days have been too busy reading Especially liked Topics re: Eccentrics and Trinity Square café I can remember the church and having to wait by it at the 18 bus stop My ex and I used to go to the 'biker nights' at The Grey Goose Gedling and what fab times we had (Ruby memories)

Sorry names don't ring a bell I was born 46 but didn't move to Sherwood until I was 6 and went to Seely School on Perry Road Was Linda Mansfield Road end of Hall Street or Hood Street end? I worked at the Home Ales off-license at the corner of Mansfield Road and Hall Street in the '70's' so was Linda living on Hall Street then?

Thanks Piggy and Babs for your welcome So nice to have found this site where memories can be rekindled Love your logo any hint to motorbikes?

Thanks Bilbraborn for the welcome You wouldn't happen to know one of my best mates Alan Horton (ex-milkman now) by any chance?

Thank you Katyjay and Michael Booth for your posts much appreciated I remember Saturday morning minors at the Metropole think it cost 6d and what fun we had. Katyjay from 1970-1983 lived on Hood Street so could well have known your sister-in-law her name wasn't Bev by any chance?

Like Davewin just wanted to say Hi to everyone Hoping you all had a Very Merry Xmas and that you all have a Truly Prosperous New Year Have lived in Sherwood with short intervals away since 1952 Any other members from Sherwood remember when Wilkos used to be the Caravan Centre with a miniature Romany caravan on the forecourt When shopping with my gran always told her I'd like us to take it home Happy times remembering jac47uk

I have lived in Sherwood near the Five Ways since 1952 and like MartynE remember him very well He quite often went into the shop where my friend worked on Woodborough Road to buy a pound of lard which he used to start eating whilst still in the shop Word was they found his body one snowy winter's morning in St Andrews churchyard Mansefield Road/ Forest Road
