    Hi Thefrog

    Welcome to Nottstalgia I to was born and bred in St Ann's I am sure we have lots of memories to share.

    Hi thank you for the welcome. I was born at 28 Pym Street opposite Moffat Street in 1948. Me Mam Marjorie and my sister Gillian were also born in the house which was the home of my mother's aunt Florence Williams. My father was born at 16 Simpkin Street and my Grandfather lived in that house right up until he died in the forties.

    I loved St Anns. I have very fond memories and I am passionate about my heritage. Very, very happy days.

    Welcome to the Forum Frog, you'll find lots of good stuff on here so get browsing and posting with your memories and recollections.

    There are a few of us St Annsians on here, whereabouts did you live there?

    Hi I was born at 28 Pym Street as was my mother Marjorie and my sister Gillian. It was the home of my Great Aunt, Florence Williams (on my mothers side). She was the 'Ladies Waiting Room Attendant' at the Nottingham Vic Station. She was an exceptional person to me and was my mentor. She lived in the house right up until demolition and then she was rehoused in a one bedroom council flat in Bilborough which she hated.

    Although we moved to Aspley and Bilborough, I was still visiting Aunty Flo right up until she moved and I was in my late teens and she too came to us. I loved the St Anns then, the shops, the people places like the 'Cavvo' it was just a lovely place to be.
