What was so wrong with that area that the High Ups thought it needed changing?second that. How we need to beware of the buggers who say they know better!
Second that.
It was great looking at names and addresses found names of people and businesses l had forgotten or could'nt remember. More potential for future topic's.

I was wondering if anyone lived, or is still in contact with anyone who lived on Lotus street, st anns and remember the smith family of 19.
Any information would be extremely valuable.
From what I hear, they were a gypsy family and nelly smith had the nickname nelson from a patch on her eye, not sure how true this is though
Hi,
Late again,used to know Leslie Smith lived on the right hand side going up from St Anns Well rd and her cousin i believe, Vic Smith he lived further up on the left did not think there was a Gypsy connection.Used to know the Barnaby sisters Eileen and Margret think they lived towards Hungerhill rd.

Picking up on this topic Hunto I was there in the juniors then seniors, I left Christmas 1961. I know John Lord,l did not go to the reunion when you came over a while back say hello to Denis Fryer if you see him over there,although will see him when we meet up with a few of the old crowd next, around march time, theres usually about 6 or 8 of us depending who can make it including 1 or 2 of the girls from the juniors.Anyone from that period who wants to make contact please do.

Hi Siddha
Your Lambretta Ld might have been unsold stock and late registered as they were phasing out that model due to the popularity of the Li series,although they did introduce the Ld again as the French model which was a 125 this was available till the early sixties, everything was different on it with the exception of the tyre size.l have a Triumph 1966 model which was not registered till 1967 it came from new from Breffits [newcastle filling station Nuthall rd].My favorite Lambretta is the model d 150 when i first saw one in a book i had to have,this was around 1967 they were quite scarce then.l put an advert in the Evening Post and got one reply and bought it £22/10 shillings,480 AAU. it was customised a bit but looked good i kept that till late seventies.l still have two now both bought from the same person but at different times the first was dragged out of a coal shed in 1977 and restored over the years the other is work in progress but it is local machine from Copes of Mansfield. -
Remember Tobys very well, being taken in there when I was a child it was a lovely store, shame we had to lose it along with many other shops,businesses and buildings around Nottingham city centre.

Having started out on scooters then going over to motorcycles, I happen to be off the road due to a car pulling out so while it was being repaired i went out armed with a tenner looking around the bargain basements for a cheap bike, well you could then but at this time all that was on offer were twice as much as I wanted to spend.tried everywhere Hooleys greyfriar gate, kingstons carrington st, anyway finished up at Ray Williams on Raleigh st, someone had just part exchanged this 1956 Lambretta ld 150 for a bubble car so I bought it for £7/10 shillings and it was brilliant took me all over and have kept a scooter alongside a motor bike ever since but then there was a problem I liked the mod style clothes so when out on my bike in my leathers i got called by the mods and when I went dressed up at night as mod I got called by the rockers so i couldn't win. when my mate who's a rocker comes to see me now, he still has to resist the urge to kick my scooters over.

Hi Don, don't think so, but not sure he did have brothers and a sister as I remember they lived at the meadow lock house we used to keep in touch when we had W J Furse reunions but not heard from him for some time, although some of us still meet up.
Hi bilbraborn did'nt have a Raleigh moped, my uncle did but then he worked for Raleigh,my first machine was a scooter ISO Milano 150cc 287 GTO saved all my wages being Marsdens the grocers (woodborough road) errand boy after school, Hunto was only up the road,delivering orders on the push bike with the basket on the front earned my 15 bob a week used to deliver all over,always up hills it seemed.

Remember it well we were taken down there on a double decker bus, there was a track which lead to the ground next to the pleasure park, we had to get changed in an old wooden hut.
