Cheers Oz...Syds was a great shop...and would order you anything. When at College on Chesterfield Rd. They had moved to the 4 seasons and the prices rocketed up! But i still have loads of beat music on vinyl..courtesy of this store. Also 2 quality 2nd hand stalls on Friday Market . Looking at the photo above: i'd forgotten about The Sherwood Room... Is The Rufford still open?

The Swan was a great gaff for soul nights.Mansfield for records way back when? Syd Booths...was there one in Sutton?

During the miners strike..after leaving the Picses Fish Bar..i rescued a bloke from a crashed and burning Allegro...transpires he was 'supping out of the pot'.. been boozing in the wheelhouse..and crashed near Scotland Rd- his ladyfriend in agony....he were'nt to keen on my rescue...thanks anyroad Norman.

Oz might recall how cycling was and is big in Mansfield.Near Landers Bakery...1968- the great north Time Trials.

When i started this thread..i did'nt realise i would learn so much!Never thought about firefighters during WW2....a couple of 1940's local lads pictured.

Nice memories Ben..i recall the 2nd hand car plot too. Used the baths regular Ben..Friday night in particular..it was 50p for a bar of pink soap- satchet of Vosene- big towel and a comb wrapped in tissue.

When this and the Bulwell Viaduct came down...i had to get the 141 to town.Northern Bridge..is that a 2cx?

1935 in The Old Market Square.Folks boarding the 42 near Queen Vic statue.

Most of Physical was recorded on the Stones Mobile ( BMC) Unit( smoke on the water)...or some at Stargroves...1975 all over it.

Golden memory..De Montfort hosted some of the best. sneaked in a few pre-rolled 3 skinners.

Dead right Ben..top place..never had any probs in their..Mary Moore, Joey Griffiths, Stan Lownes, Ron Saunders, Fred Chance...sixes about dommies too. Smashing picture!! Know the Oldham family..but from Bestwood Park...one got into a spot of bother..mentioned on here a while back.

1964 Taylors Mill was being pulled down and the Newton Building was extended right upto the Lending Library.As seen here in August 1967.( the new stone being whiter.)

Fog..that was Taylors Mill..employed over 100 staff at one time..including 2 stokers!From this angle you can see it's size..the vantage point being the Victorian section of Central.

Snapped from Trent Poly roof. sixties shot of Central, Moons, Clinton,YWCA, Bills Chippy. The factory fell into disrepair and was grassed after demolition. So many memories!

They were on the firestation door frames..on Shakespeare St. I was told when a nipper..the joiners did contracts for Churches and Chapels..and incorporated their'flair' into Central also.

Fogrider might recognise these?
