Hello Sneintongirl I started at the Junior school in 1964 Miss Coulson was my first teacher. Mr Bentley was the teacher in the fourth year. Headmaster Mr Wells, nice man. Deputy head Mr Tate, not quite as nice. I also remember a Mrs Proqupchuqe (not spelt right). Any of these names sound familiar to you?

#4 Great picture.where do you find them Cliff Ton? More likely taken at the City Ground with the track around the pitch and a post in the back ground probably holding up the old East Stand.

Thanks, notty ash.

Back to the thread.........anyone know why the trolley bus had 6 wheels?

Mundella had; Red-Wollaton Yellow- Hardwick Blue- Welbeck Green- Thoresby All named after local Halls.

TBI and Cliff Ton, thank you for the information. Cliff Tons ability to locate and up load the relevant maps when information is requested is becoming legendary. Thanks.

Hello I was born on Lord Nelson Street in Sneinton, 1956. Anyone any idea where Sun Street and Red Street where?

Yellow River by Christie 1970.

A sports teacher at Mundella would offer you one with a spiked running shoe or three with a plimsoll, we always took the three.

In 1969 we moved from Sneinton and went to live on Southcliffe Road, Carlton, I was thirteen and got my first paid employment as a paperboy working for the Budds. Nice people, who, if my memory is correct lived at 3 Southlea Road. I also did the occasional meat delivery on a Saturday morning for the butcher at the shop near to Rex Robinsons (do not recall the butchers name) Rode a traditional butchers bike with the basket on the front, just like Granville's on Open All Hours.

1961 Greenwood Infants, top of Sneinton Boulevard, do not remember any teachers. 1963 Greenwood Juniors, bottom of the hill on the Boulevard. I lived on Baden Powell Road so it was about 25 yards walk to the main gate. Headmaster Mr Wells, Deputy Head Mr Tate. Miss Coulson teacher in 1st year and Mr Bentley in the 4th year. 1967 Mundella Grammar school, caught the number 8 to Trent Bridge on the Boulevard, free bus pass as well.

A top loader was always considered to be the better machine because it was able to take a bigger load and spin faster than a front loader due, I believe, to the bearings being horizontal and situated at the base of the drum, with a front loader the bearings are vertical and situated at the rear of the drum. Front loaders became popular due to being able to fit under worktops in fitted kitchens.

Anyone know, allegedly, why they called themselves 10 cc?

In the 70's there was a jewellers on Bath Street called B. Roach
