I was brought up in the 'Meadows' and I could be quite wrong but I think this building was something to do with the old railway. For those that can recall, the old rail lines ran behind these buildings. The rail net work was quite extensive here with many siddings and of course the old rail bridge.My Uncle was a train driver who lived in the 'railway' houses on Bathley Street (Glapton Road end ) Many truly happy memories of the old meadows including Trent Bridge School. Kind regards, Tony

I've just had a telephone call from Arthur Clarke ( i'm sure many will remember him ) to say our old school TB has finally gone. The 'New Block ' is still standing. I left in July 1964 and have very many happy memories of my 5 years there and can recall all the teachers well. All for now, Kind regards, Tony ( Paine )

My Aunt who lives quite near to my old school-TB-infoms me it is shortly due to be demolished to make way for affordable houses ! I'm sure many of the people on this site went there. I left in 1964 and have very many happy memories. Kind regards, Tony

Mick Would be really interested. Thanks Kind regards Tony

Yes, My Aunt still lives there in the same house where i was brought up. Very happy memories of the Meadows and Trent Bridge School. Kind regards Tony.

Johns family lived on Lamorna Grove at Wilford. The Booths came in the 70s. Mum also lived on Lamorna grove but cant remember what happened to John or his family. Kind regards Tony

Foxy, You have an excellent memory. I can recall Joseph K when he fell on the mountain. Had extensive suturing and when he discharged from the hospital covered in bangages. Can't remember Dave Hickling. Do yoy recall that one of the teachers did some cine shots of us all and after the hols we were invited back to TB juniors to see the film ? Mick if you read this -do you still have the photograph of the TB seniors trip to Germany I sent you-a lot of old boys on there. Kind regards Tony Tony Paine

Foxy, Brought back some memories. I remember Tony Gleadhall-did his family own the shop on the top of Woolmer road ? Recall the Booths-i think they moved to live at Wilford. I have a picture of GM some where-we all went on a school trip tp Paris in 1961. Will try to find it. Went by the old school some 2 months back. Still the same. Brought back happy memories kind regards Tony Tony Paine

Mick, You are quite correct. This was the far corner by the playground of TB juniors Date 1959. Kind regards Tony

Mick Second from left- front row- the lad is Alan Hall. Kind regards Tony

Not Mr Chalkley. Taken outside Midland Station- summer of 1959. School trip to Bellinzona Southern Switzerland. Kind regards Tony.

Alan I'm sure you are right. I also remember most of the names and often wonder what happened to every one. Apart from seeing Arthur Clarke once in blue moon and corresponding with Tony L Alan Hall and yourself I have not been in touch with anyone else I've sent quite a few photographs to Mick of the old school etc for him to put on. Take care Kind regards Tony ( Paine )

As far as I can remember Sante Fe opened in 1962.Originally it was open on a Sunday night following Evensong.The vicar Mr Whalley wanted to attract more young people to the evening service. I recall as a young man of 13 years the church being quite packed out with older teenagers.This met with some disaproval with the older congregation so it was aborted. I finished going around 1966. Kind regards Tony.

Mick, You are quite right. The club was up some old wooden steps. I only went there the once. I think it tried to compete with sante Fe but didn't last too long. I'm sure it opened in 1964 and closed later that year.I woder how long Sante Fe lasted? Kind regards, Tony

dicko I remember the club well. I think it was on Wilford Cres near Holgate rd junction. Have very fond memories of Sante fe. Kind regards Tony.

Many will recall Mr Williams. He had many problems at TB, particulary with the boys who were often quite disruptive in his classroom. He left in late 1963 to become music teacher in a North Notts girls school. Piggy Roberts took over when he left and would play ad hoc for the morning assembly. On fridays we would have a Mr ( Bill ) Vasey. Bill lived at Mapperley and would be seen around the town always on a cycle. A tall eccentric chap.Bill once told me that he always liked to have a pee in the boys toilets instead of the staff ones. He befriended a lad called Mick Phelps-the only cockney we

The only PT teacher I can remember up until late 1964 was Mr Thorpe. kind regards Tony ps so glad my old friend Tony Lander has joined. I mailed him the address to the USA Mick when do you think you might be able to progress the TB school picture site? I do think this will be VERY popular and invite many pictures and narratives.

Mick & Cazza, Thank you for the replies. Firstly Mick. I'm not in any way computerate literate. I can send the photographs etc to whatever you like. But still dont understand how to load them on your site. Carole, I don't have any pics of 1970. I was at Tb from 1959 to 1964 inclusive but still have some photographs a few years either end.I have a couple of old speech day programmes which I will also put on the site. I am really surprised that more people do not have photographs. I am in touch albeit ad hoc with the brothers of my old school friend Arthur Clarke. Arthur had two b

Mick, Have found many old TB school pictures etc however unable to attach them. Is there a simplistic way of doing this. I attached many of them all right to FR with no problems. I must be doing something wrong. Hope every one in Snotts and those that subscribe from elswhere are well. Kind reagrds Tony
