You may recall a family called Fewkes....Harry was a life long friend who sadly passed away about 5 years ago.....however his wife still lives there (Jackie) see here often even now in Bulwell........

Always wondered about that house Engineer thanks for the info.... Although born and grew up on Bestwood estate (Andover road end near Arnold road).......i have so many memories of Arnold road all the way down to Southwark street and Basford crossings.... Park Tavern was my regular pub from teenage years to early 30s when i left Nottingham for a few years.........Dad was born in an old cottage opposite the house in 1924 ........

To speak i have a thing called an HME which fits in my stoma on the throat.........and i press thing to e

Is this Nottingham's latest group ?....Lucky Duckies..?

That was the finest set of films and pictures of old Nottingham ive ever seen.......thanks cliff ton...... Combined with the music it bought a lump to my throat...and if i was sentimental ''a tear to my eye''........... Made me realise although ive lived all over......Nottingham my birth place will be with me forever......

What you listening to?........but as you say cliff ton ..it fits here as well...probably more so..... Yes stopped having Parties....of any kind.......still see a couple of the girls though in Bulwell........

Remember this 'Instrumental' from my 15th birthday in 1960.... Mam and Dad said i could invite a few Pals round for a little party.....and they told me no drinking or smoking ...and they went out for the evening....... Keith bought the Beer...Harry loads of Fags...and Hazel 2 bottles of 'Emva cream''.............from memory there were about 10 girls and 5 lads....... The other record i remember from that night was ''Running Bear'' (still got it).......great night music.. Dancing...Postmans knock... Mam had just had new 'Lino' laid and was very proud of it...shame most of th

I love his voice and most of his songs......''Lady in Red'' being my favourite..........nice for a dance and ''Bum squeeze''...........

Could'nt sleep last night...but found myself listening to this...what a lovely voice and song..........

Love me Lycra Den...........i'm not middle aged....I'M OLD..........

My Pet hates are numerous...such as Bare feet....(mens) Flip flops....(on men) 3/4 Length shorts ( on men) T shirts with a jacket and no shirt..(on men) Men who fasten the top button of a shirt...when not wearing a Tie....... I could go on.......but ill leave that for now.........

Things you see too much of clothes or body parts....

Think the last few posts should be in the ''Nicknames'' thread...we got one ? Used to feel sorry for some kids at school....with 'Nicknames ' like... Ginger nut... Fatty.... Goggles... Had one lad in my year with no 'Toes'' and believe it or not was a great footballer.......funny thing was his Boots and Shoes all curled up where his toes should have been...and he had the Nickname ''Curly''............

Clarke's were also ''Nobby's''...........dont know why ? Oh Yea.........Taylors were all ''Spuds''

Someone got lost somewhere along the line.......... Snottingham ??? I was talking about ''Dolly Blues''
