The houses at Trent Bridge Secondary Modern Boys was: Bosworth Lake Laws Pearson They were named after old boys killed in the first world war and they died in the school when it was being used as a hospital. Each house had a big framed photograph of them over the house name in the hall. I have often wondered what became of those photos when the school closed. Best wishes Peter

As a long suffering County man it upsets me to see them in such a state as at the moment there does not seem to be any light at the end pf the tunnel in fact they seem to be struggling to even find the tunnel. I used to travel all over the county with them and walk round the pitch in my top hat etc. My nickname in those days was Prof. They were always a hard team to beat at home. I remember in the very old 2nd division we struggled for years we would say things like "If we win today by 2 - 0 and Lincoln City lose we go above them on goal difference" I used to stand in the Kids Pen" Lets

I lived at 100 Kirkewhite Street and we had a TV - one of the few who had in those days. The power came from an attachment in the light socket but we did had one 2 pin power point in the room but did not know if it worked or not. Chap from next door was in every night watching the TV and said he would tell us if the socket was live or not. He put a steel knitting needle in one of the holes and wet his finger - I am sure you all know what is coming next - he switched it on and boy o boy did he do a little dance and screaming TURN IT OFF - Where shall I switch it off my Mam asked - FOR
