Well, I have been looking for a picture of Dad at his school & saw that he posted on this site. The power of Google eh!
I am Stan's son. Unfortunately he passed away last month. I have never seen a photo of him under the age of 20. He was born in Arkwright street in 1940 in terrible poor conditions & caught t.b, which also finished his mother off when he was 5. He told me some tales of his childhood in Nottingham. His aunt Lilly lived with a fella called Pop, and he was the custodian of the Palais. My Dad swore blind that in the basement under the dancefloor they used to keep a chimpanzee, if that's true I can only feel sorry for the poor creature. He was a lifelong Forest supporter as am I, even though we moved to Hampshire in the 60's when I was a baby. I have, and still continue to see the reds regularly while I visit what's left of my family. His sister Sheila lived in Alexandra street in Stabbo until her death about 10 years ago.
