I'm listening to the new Boom Radio (DAB and online ) sounds good to me. It's got a sense of the old pirate radio days, only it's legal and a good mix of music.

There were 2 rocking beam engines in those engine houses, the beams were at the top just under the roof. Each one had a flywheel about 25feet diameter, half of which were recessed in a big slot in the floor. The engines were built in the 1850s and installed when the station opened in 1857. They were still pumping water in 1957 when I had a school visit there. One of the engines was dismantled and erected at Wollaton hall museum.

That's ok as a temporary measure BK but I get no notifications or PM facilities.

All three themes show no avatar. V4 does look like Pianoman's but without the navigation text headers or avatar.

I'm same as Stavertongirl. Got no avatar etc on the top, I've turned the brightness up full. Android 10 on phone and on my tablet so I'm not going to log on me tablet. Both devices show no avatar. Cleared browser settings on both devices, restarted devices without success. Maybe it's an Android compatibility prob.

How do you log off?? Seems like I'm logged on forever.

So let's raise a glass to our Ben, A stalwart of nottstalgia's men. He's been put to the test And we wish him the best And pray that he'll soon be 'iz sen.

It was a Co-op when I knew it in the 50s/60s or there abouts.

There was a science type instrument/technical shop corner of Clinton st West and Lincoln st. Also a good bookshop on the north side of Lincoln st. Can't name them but could find them.

And they sound pathetic.

Enough of this, just let the matter drop.

I don't know it all RoseQueen but if my old memory serves me well, before being renamed 'Marketside' it was the 'Sir Robert Clifton'. Affectionately known as Cliftows by some.

There's some purlers here!

Eee, that takes me back a few decades.

St Mary's school on Barker gate, boys' entrance.

The boys' dorms were Chetwynd and Brackenhurst.

In 1955 my dad took me on one of his mystery cycle rides. Nuthall rd to Cinderhill Island, under the rail bridge and up the old 610 Nottingham Road which runs to the west of the now Nuthall pub. About 60 yards past the now Houghton close there was a footpath (still there) which went east across the open fields (before the dual carriageway was built) about the same alignment as the (new) Armstrong Rd and then ran through the south of the cemetery. Apart from the cemetery it was all empty fields then as i remember, no Crabtree etc. I guess it was the path shown on the map above which ended at Gr

Indeed, and in its basic form and even by an untrained artist. Introduce money and status into it and the art element is a shared consideration. But a skilful experienced artist has a way with their chosen medium and an experience of the various facets of the human condition and is able to reach into the observer's world. This would raise its value in some quarters.

in memory of Goose Fair late 50s. Me standing on the thundering rattling walkway round the waltzer, near the speakers, the ear splitting screams of the lasses in ra ra skirts, cowboy hats hanging down their back. Others I remember, Tallahasee Lassie, Poison Ivy, Big Hunk of Love. Lots more.

If you stand on the moon can you see the great Wall of China?
