  1. Really interested to find your thread about the Poor Boys Home (as I now know it to be) on Roseberry. Got a garbled story about it from my hubby whose folks ran a b&b on Clifton Grove. Visited today for first time for a look.

      Was the 70s, he was already growed up. He hated Skeg and came back to Notts to live in a flat. He was bored. Said there were no jobs except working in the sweet factories, probably the same now. A lot of the people looked a bit hard up. Was it a sweet factory that burned down?

      Hi catfan, he was lucky enough not to be in there, but was down the road on Clifton Grove, big house on the corner, No.2, he told me about the home, but didn't know much about it. It piqued my interest though, especially when I saw some of the horror stories!
