LSE used to sell those amazing Russian transistor radios with more wavebands than you could shake a stick at. They must have issued them to their spies for receiving messages from the Kremlin. I'm pretty sure LSE moved to Palin Street in the early 1980s.

Clinton Street (East and West). Do you remember Leyland Paints and on the corner London Scientific Exchange?.

3 = Cromwell 6 = Wellow ?????? 10 = Nuncargate

Subsequently became a Fine Fare when that company bought Burton's.

No takers?

We all remember, and miss, Burton's under the Council House but does anyone recall the location of their supermarket?

I came across this website earlier today. Itdevoted entirely to urban exploration: abandoned buildings, tunnels, former military bases, old railway lines... http://www.28dayslater.co.uk Just put "Nottingham" into the search box and enjoy. B)

She was a contemporary of William Babbage. He designed, though never built, a Difference Engine: a mechanical calculating machine. Ada suggested a way that the device might calculate Benouli numbers and is therefore credited as being the creator of the very first computer program.

Nottingham's last trolleybus has been preserved and you can see it at the Trolley Bus Museum, Sandtoft (near Doncaster). They are holding an East Midlands themed weekend this coming August so there's every chance 506 will be running. http://www.sandtoft.org.uk/opendays/index.html

Jack had a few more years in him: passing away in 1978.

Looking towards Vernon Road from Radford Road just before the junction with the Ring Road (Valley Road) at Basford?

London Road and Arkwright Street?

Six more years and it will be our big 500. Such a shame it's gone to pot over the past twenty or so. Lauda Finem.

Pole-Carew was ahead of his time: replacing hot lead with photo typesetting and confronting head-on the Spanish practices that bedevilled both provincial and Fleet Street publications. That said: today's Evening Post has me rushing for the sick bag if I read it - talk about a politically correct, propaganda sheet.

The small cheesy bicsuits were originally called Burton's Cheesettes. They came in a small red and yellow cellophane bag and cost 3d. I remember them because, as form biscuit monitor, I had to sell them along with Penny Bourbons, Custard Creams, Sportsmen and one whose name eludes it at the moment. It was chocolate with a peppermint centre and came wrapped in foil.
