In the 50s at this time of year I had a game of football for Wm Crane school in the morning; a game for Aspley Boys in the afternoon and out dancing at night. I wish I had half - a quarter of the energy now.
Swop Crane for Padstow and Aspley for Bestwood Old boys,and there went i.
Same here tomlinson . If there was a match, playing for Parliament Street Meths. as quite a few from Gedling School were in the team at the time .Think we used to play at Colwick .
Other times if no match , go into town on number 65 from Valley Rd , Carlton into town and have pie peas and chips on Wollaton St. and then to the free football bus on Parliament St to see Forest play .
My memories of 60s Saturdays..... Working all day in Woolworths then spending the money down the boat clubs or the beachcomber at night.....
Some Saturdays we would congregate outside Saxone in the square waiting for a lift to one of the all nighters in Sheffield , Manchester or London.........a big leather doctors bag from Chelsea Girl with toothbrush and spare tights !!!! !!!!!

My Mother worked there in the 50s,she was a Seamstress,the entrance is where/was the Snooker club,in the 50s there was a very small shop called and run by Nellie Bisby,i believe her husband Charlie played for Notts co.
Before bookies were legal she used to operate one from there,my Dad and all my Uncles and Aunts used to use it,and she used to serve us kids with single cigs.Sometime in the early 60s there was a major fire at Pearsons and a man died in it,i believe Pearsons later became part of Spray and Burgess.

Its funny bilbraborn,my Grandad was 'Secretary' of the NUR Bulwell for many years,my other Grandad worked on the Railway all his working life after service in the Great War' as did my Dad after the Second world war,at 15 i did 6 months at Midland station,but despite all this i retained no interest at all,except to say i can see the romance of the age of steam.
-
#193 along with bilbraborn naturally
-
The Tamworth mail? who said the age of romance was dead,nice one Pete, BTW did you ever put that book together I tried to encourage out of you? with all that knowledge about railways you and Bilbraborn should consider it
