If you want to see many adverts, magazines, products etc from the past then have a look at the site below (I have posted this previously) particularly the books (various decades), which are available through bookshops, and highly recommended by myself. http://www.museumofbrands.com/books/

Anything For The Weekend Sir?

It's a good book I'm sure you'll enjoy browsing all the photos. Incidentally I presume the Mason's Arms was probably demolished before the year mentioned when the flats were built.

In a book called "Nottingham Pubs" there's a section covering pubs Hyson Green to Bulwell and there's a photo of Mason's Arms, Church Street in 1972 and it states that the pub was replaced by a housing complex called Prince of Wales Court in 1992

Have you tried searching this site? http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/nottinghamshire/nottingham.html

The above programme is on BBC 4 tonight (Saturday July 11th) at 10.45pm. Artists appearing include Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Status Quo, Procul Harum, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Julie Driscoll and the Kinks.

Article on the link below mentions the almshouses on Hanley Street founded by Henry Hanley http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/monographs/mellors1924/benefactors2.htm

That's a relief to you both, family and friends.

It was a shame the feature wasn't longer.

Had a look at the BBC 1 info on Sky listings and also on BBC 1's website and it's not mentioned for tonight so I'm wondering if it's next Monday?

According to the Post website Attenborough Nature Reserve is on BBC 1's "The One Show" tonight] http://www.nottinghampost.com/Attenborough-Nature-Reserve-BBC-s/story-26842060-detail/story.html

That's a good selection Michael. I've also got the majority of the "Dreamboats & Petticoats" compilation sets which have tracks from the 50's and early 60's.

Quite a number of years ago I bought a box set (21 cds) called “Rock ‘n’ Roll Forever” from the now disappeared Selectadisc. I’m sure the many fans of this music would like it. The artists are Jerry Lee Lewis – Gene Vincent – Bill Haley – Duane Eddy – Elvis Presley – Ricky Nelson – Fats Domino – Carl Perkins – Chuck Berry – Bo Diddley – Buddy Holly – Wanda Jackson – Coasters – Johnny & The Hurricanes - Little Richard – Platters – Roy Orbison – Everly Bros – Charlie Rich – Bobby Vee and a compilation album of the aforementioned as well. I don’t know if it’s still available but if you're

Went to the flicks and piccies as well

I thought it was the pictures not cinema!

If you're a fan of Buddy Holly & The Crickets, Sky Arts channel are showing a documentary on the group this coming Sunday (July 5th) at 6pm until 8pm

He must have been one of the most laid-back singers of all time and he was obviously very popular with all the shows he had on t.v.. R.I.P. Val

Maybe Fast Food outlets should have to make an extra charge for takeaways which could then be either given to the council for cleaning up the mess or returnable if the container is returned (like bottles used to be).

Photos to take you back to the 60's on Nottingham on the Post's website. http://www.nottinghampost.com/pictures/Nottingham-1960s-Photos-year-decade/pictures-26728519-detail/pictures.html#1

It's no problem carni.

Just a reminder the programme's on tonight (Sunday 14th) at 7pm BBC 1

I've just checked on Sky's TV Guide and it states Nottingham City so it must be the falcons.

The BBC 1 "Country File" programme next Sunday, 14th June at 7pm comes from Nottinghamshire and includes Sherwood Forest and birdwatching in Nottingham (I presume this will be the falcons,)

Blondie it does say "Names of living persons are not normally permitted". It doesn't say not allowed at all and presumably because of the achievements they have attained the council gave an exception.
