Blondie

I agree.......cannot put ones finger on it though...........

Ive met a lot of pheasant pluckers over the years...........

Things were looked upon as different then, it was all good, clean fun..............

Pubs as we know them have gone, never to be the same.........They were built on every corner a century ago as the working class people did not have nice homes, the homes were for eating and sleeping and where the women lived with the kids, the pub is where the blokes went and relaxed with their mates after a hard days graft.......... Progress and Drink, driving laws have put paid to all that.............People now have nice homes and they can drink their wine and beer there whilst relaxing with their mates and the telly.............

Morecombe and Wise have been a hard act to follow, they were the best.............

I was scared of big chimney's - ie: Pit Chimney's and those chimney's that were on the top of old terraced house kitchen/washouses back in the 50's............

She was good looking and clever too, she became an embroidery designer, I know she was courting a Geoff whilst she was at school.....she had a little girl in her teens, I do not know whether she married Geoff, but the last I heard of her she was living across the road from the Three Ponds Pub in Nuthall in a very smart bungalow behind a high wall, I know she married someone from the navy, this was all years ago back in the late 60's 70's era...........She was very friendly with Carol Waldram who lived on Westleigh Road whilst they were at school.......

May she RIP next to Ronald............

I had a friend who lived on Lindfield Road, she was called Carol Inger, went to my school in Nottingham in the latye fifties..........

That bread shop was owned by Priestley's who are friends of my hubby Malc Taylor, my hubby's mother had a shoe shop on Broxtowe Lane called Wyn Taylor, his dad managed the Smeeton's butcher's next door for years, they later owned their own butchers shop at the bottom of Bells Lane, Joe Taylor & Son - his sister Audrey ran the greengrocer's for a time in the late fifties, was called Hopkins then...............

Pinketts moved in the early 70's and it was taken over by Deatons who were there until 1985......... The shops at the bottom of Bells Lane now are very shabby looking, it was a smart area at one time.....

My hubby's family had one of the four shops, a butcher's shop built on that embankment next door to Pinketts at 28 Bells Lane on the corner of Walbrook Close they were called Joe Taylor, they moved there in the early fifties.......later on in the late fifties they bought the shop from Gribby's it was run by my hubby Malc Taylor's sister and was called Hopkins........His mother Wyn Taylor had a shoe shop at the bottom of Broxtoew Lane, his dad ran the Smeeton's butchers next door, for years.......They made a lot of money and bought land on Aspley Lane and a built a smart house.............Malc'

Where have all the Dewhurst's gone ?.........They were great shops years ago.....

My hubby once ran a proper butchery, it was called Taylors on Bells Lane Cinderhill (Malc)..........it was closed down in 1987 after we moved to another shop in New Basford............people still ask about him today and want him back there...........Like a lot of other shops it has been taken over by our Asian friends and I believe it is a Fish and Chip Shop..............The area has gone down too...........

I can remember Nurdin and Peacock when we ran our shop in the 1980/90's...........HAPPY SHOPPER products were quite popular..........It was over the flyover, Lenton Lane area...........not heard of theplace for years.......

May he RIP - He has bought a lot of pleasure to many an old lady over the years.................

Me too Bubblewrap - CHEERS !!!!

I have seen many a person shoplifting over the years, would never report them myself, it is too risky nowadays, I do not want my legs breaking.................

Shop lifters, at first I thought it said shirt lifters - phew !!!!

The day I wake up without am ache or pain, I will surely be dead...............

Never watched telly back then, was busy going out enjoying life.......

Time these soaps were all taken off, they have got worse and worse over the years........so depressing.....

My sister Barbara Housley from Hucknall was at Carlton Le Willows, she was born in February 1951, so she would have been there in 1962/68, she was very clever.......

RIP George................Great Guy...
