Men wearing them tiny socks that slope behind the Ankle,almost as bad as no socks,and older men wearing 3/4 length jeans,especially when they're over 40 with a football shirt,

No shops there now 'Katyjay'......all flats, but i think theres a 'Polish Kob shop' just round the corner ! They used to sell 'Musky' peas as well.

Noticed one this morning 'Guardian Journal' (big one) above newsagent on Henrieta st,2 doors up from Highbury rd,near bilbraborn lads Barber, Popular local paper in its day,wonder when that ceased publication?

Thanks cliff ton,just to the right of where it says Market place is the corner where the shops i mentioned stood,and the gap must have been down to the Cottages mentioned in #1.

I faintly remember,Roses shoe shop and a Mens Outfitters on that corner where 'Wilko's' is,must have been 50s,..........bet someone can come up with photo? Just remembered the mens shop was 'Price and Beal',lots of shops in Bulwell today but no good Menswear shops.

Bark init!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think (not sure) they changed Farrands into Vernons ,up towards Bentinck rd,mid.60s.

Loo this Looe that,wonder if you get an outside Loo in Looe,............anyway thought you'd gone to Looe,...........take ya' Jerry to Looe in case its outside in Looe,.........The loo ,that is.

Think they lived on Teviot Ian,

And hoping to get Shirley-Ann-Field there.

Great stuff 'cliff ton',..............theres a new 'Now and then' book coming out just about 'Sat night--Sunday morning,..........and oh by the way that shot on Willoughby st. just misses a 'Marsdens' shop,........i used to work for them ya'know,.....lol.

Reckon my Dad had it sorted,he was forever pronouncing words the way they were spelt,and whenever i struggle with a spelling i can hear him saying things like BIS-CU-IT and BEN-JAM-IN,and SCISS-ORS,........is that the scheme you meant Marge?

'Come round my place indeed'.....................happy birthday 'chulla'
