    #1 Hi Angel remember the shop well. I lived on Withern Road near to Bidford and the cut through to Broxtowe Lane. Not sure of your age but my first proper drink was in The Cocked Hat though used to go with my mum and dad and get a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps from the offi.

    I now live in Strelley Village and my local is The Broad Oak. Small world.

    I was born on Withern Road in 1952 - then moved to Strelley Road when I was about 2 - I remember Strelley Road like it was yesterday - shame I can't remember what I did last week 😀

    Welcome Angel, I was born in 1951 & lived on Minver Crescent, then Aspley Lane, went to the youth clubs you mentioned, & most of the pubs. You may have known the Wynne brothers, their mum lived next door to the Cocked Hat, all of them were educated at John Players Academy For Young Gentlemen................ kickme..............I was a good Catholic boy & went to St Teresa's

    Don't remember the 'wynne' brothers - but then the name sounds familiar - I'll have a think about it

    Came acrosss this site by accident, I use to live on Broxtowe Lane, by Dad, Len Herbert had the wallpaper and paint shop near the Cocked Hat we lived there from about 1962 till 1980. Wondering if anyone remembers him?

    I went to Players Junior school then to Willaim Crane. In my younger days I could be found at Coffee Bar (Methodist Church on Aspley Lane) SMD (St Margrets Church) Broxtowe Youth Club, Sheila Russells. I think the first pub I went in was The Early Bird, then progressed to The Beacon, The Broad Oak I wasn't allowed in the Cocked Hat, to close to home. Then of course it was Strelley Social Club. Soon tired of local pubs so started to go to town, Hearty Goodfellow, Royal children, The Fountain, Saluation, Dog and Bear, Coach and Horses, Q E on Bottle Lane, Yates. Had some really good times and lovely memories of my teens.
