The isolation hospital was at the top ish of Hucknall road near the Arnold Rd junction now a small housing estate , just pass Orgill Rd or Drive , and was latterly called Heathfield hospital and must have closed very early 1980s x

Brynley Williams had a younger brother Trevor , he was in my class at Henry Whipple and Padstow .

Here in Spain we have no central heating , only calor gas, a doctor that hangs out the window for a fag he he and a siesta when you want to shop , no landline , no outside dustbins , little recycling , no letterbox hence no mail or Amazon deliveries to the house x

Oh please dont get me wrong , i loved Bulwell, good and bad everywhere , it was 1980s early 90s when i worked there , not forgetting 1970 at the day nursery , folks were in the main good folk but as anywhere ,there were some rum uns x

I remember the footbridge , that was our route to the ice stadium on a Saturday morning where we went to "the ice cubs " before the general skating session , happy days x

This guy knew his trade ,it was black lol im trying to remember his name , my pal worked in Boots ,he was one of their best " customers "

Sitting reading the posts about Bulwell , the folk were the salt of the earth and in the main it was a pleasure to work there .It certainly had its share of characters and recall dry cleaning the unusual coat of the most prolific shoplifters in Bulwell a time or two , he had his image to keep lol

The memory i have of Burtons is the Salmon paste ,Mum used to buy it loose mmm lovely with a dash of vinegar on your sandwich , the arcade at Christmas was a must see x anyone remember the Nativity scene on the square ahhh we loved it , my cousin visiting from down south loved it that much he dinked under the rope for a closer look ,little devil x

I was at Giltbrook , the very one in the photo earlier sandwiched between the amusement arcade and the butchers , had some great times there ,, and it has to be said some not so great lol

Ohhhh nooo , did Or ille die as well ?

Used to go fishing down bulwell as kids , fishing net and a jam jar , caught the 17 bus at Marble arch happy days x Later worked at Bulwell day nursery ,just down from what used to be the clinic , remember that orange juice your Mums got from the baby clinic ? Mmmmmm we used to all want to make up the kids orange drinks at the nursery , i wonder why lol . Many years later worked at the dry cleaners for 9 years , oh the fun and games we had there over the years x

Ahhhh yes , thats it , forgotten how tiny it was x

A little late this ,but i remember the isolation hospital on Hucknall Road , it was on the roght hand sode of the road before the junction for Arnold Road , has an estate there now , would it have been called Heathfield hospital ? I also recall passing the City hospital and they kept pigs , as kids it was a treat to sit upstairs on the bus and look for them lol easily pleased all those years ago xx

We used to catch the 28 from the side of the church , after the church was demolished and the car park built we would stand near Smiths dry cleaners at what would be the top of the square , the cafe was at the top right end , i think you could also catch the 17 and no 6 along that row .The Moulin Rouge resteraunt was on the left side near Trinity walk , and if my memory serves me well , which it normally does not ! the Moulin Rouge cinema was on the right side of Mansfield Rd as you came into town , phew
