Jill, your posts stirred a distant memory for me. I can vaguely remember that as a tiddler at Douglas road school, we made our own hand puppets. Can't recall the show we did but I do remember taking our show to Berridge school and my part with my puppet was as a blind man. All I remember was most of my part required a lot of coughing, not easy when your only about 9 or 10. Still, we got refreshments and biscuits. We, as the cast felt like the bees knees. Done bugger all since....

Margie, it sounds like they're all youngsters bar us. Can't believe I'm 76 next. I drive a mini bus for a retirement village and had a police check cause they are "old and vulnerable". I'm older than most of 'em.

It's a bloody pity he's got nothing better to do like get a life. !

Think I'm missing something here ? Ain't gorra clue.

Me Mam once said, " Don't matter who ya vote for, the bloody government allus gets in !"....

Now you've got me interested !

Thanks Ayup., I figured it was a wild shot in the dark, but ta for responding. B.

WELL DONE BREW !!!!!

Thanks TBI and sue B 48 but as regards FB I'm afraid the jury is still out. B.

A shot in the dark. Frank, if your still on here, can you tell me whereabouts up from 55bus stop you lived ? My missus used to live next to the bus stop, with her front garden next to it. I used to drive buses out of bilborough depot and driven the 55 route many times. Tina used to live there until we married in 1965. Beekay.

Wouldn't know where to start TBI.

Only know of one person in Canada, my cousin Yvonne. But was snowed under with loads of pictures of dogs from all over that country. Of no interest to me at all. At 75 , if I don't know folks now I never will.

Some very interesting photos on this download. Brought back loads of memories. Assembly hall upstairs, changing rooms below, shared with girls school (not at same time). Could even see my classroom. Going to see if I can capture the pictures for archives.

Action or nations ? Whose gonna argue over a letter N. Remember the pub, the church we used to go to for school Christmas service. I can't honestly remember the pawn broker.. I do remember that come lunch time we all had to traipse over to Cottesmore school where our school kitchen and dining hall was. We also had three extra prefab type rooms, these were for woodwork, metalwork and a general classroom. We could choose which we'd like. I chose woodwork, but I remember Spud Ballet making a replica colt 45 cowboy gun. The teacher wouldn't let him put in a firing pin ! I wonder why ? It would've

I suppose it's a case of win some, lose some.

Cliff ton what happened to Jimmy lad ? Did he just not bother coming back on or found something better to do ? There can't be many that would abandon NS.

Jill you asked where the school was back in march 2018. So I presume you now are aware. Being a Utopian you must know all around Radford. Thank you for your input. B.

NB. Even if it was only to arrest me.

I'll remember ya' Cherub. !!Especially your kind offer to come and fetch me. B.

I realise this thread is a while ago but here goes...The school is on the corner of Radford boulevard and Ilkeston road. If memory serves me correct, that area was known as "The four nations", Education, Ruination, Inebriation and Salvation. There being a school, pawnbroker, pub and a church on the four corners of the crossroads of Ilkeston road and the boulevard. In my short six months on here I've not found anyone else who was at that school between 1954-58. Was beginning to think I was the only bu99er who went there. I remember some of the teachers names, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Hallam, Mr. Gunby

Probably an astronaut going to the shops !

You can have the other one Nonna. x

Hey Staverton girl, here are your shed doors, waiting to be fitted.

Surely Den, if you did that (give your right arm) then you would be monotonous. ?

Your pictures are excellent MargieH. Well done !
