  1. Den, judging by your age I presume you would have been at school with Stevie Newell who went on to play for Notts County, see him in the Navigation prior to Forest home games. Another one a bit older than me you may remember was Dennis Fisher, Pedro Richards and Tristran Benjamin would possibly be a year below you.

  2. I can remember the shop and the removals business. Across the road on the corner was a fruit & veg shop as I recall. Apparently me mam took me shopping when I was still in a pram and she left me outside the shop and went home before she remembered me. Wouldn't be safe these days.

    Had two brothers and a sister, youngest brother was 15 years older than me (think I was a power cut) John, Barbara and eldest Alan.

    Not sure about Headons.

  3. Living in Swadlincote.

    Carn't remember that one but can remember getting empty bottles from the back yard of the beer off and then taking them in to get the refunds.

    Do you remember the paper shop on Kirkwhite Street opposite your raod run by the Tarry's, they used to go ten pin bowling.

    Have you got a brother or relation named Mark Charlesworth sure we were at school together?

  4. Caeperthi if your 57 and a Mundella girl I would think you know Linda Taylor, Tony Brothwell and George Bowery who would have been there at the same time.

    Failed the 11+ so went to Roland Green Bilateral as it was officially called then.

    Remember Santa Fe also having a stage with pinball machines and table football, winners stayed on.

    Great times great memories

    I'll be 57 next year, also remember going to theMeadows Boys Club and being coached by Bob McKinley who played for Forest.
