  1. I think it's on the Arcqiva Multiplex.
  2. Don't Recall any hut's as a child, didn't vist this part of Nott's for over a decade. in the early 80's, remember some hut's other side of Greenwood Road, incorporated with a school, was visting friends living at flats on Colwick Road. walked bleary eyed around a car boot!
  3. Spot on Beekay! Remember it being very squeaky in need of some oil! This was only about 5O odd years ago mind you!
  4. Thanks AfferGorritt, looks to be taken from the Greenwood Rd side? Extreme right corner there was another path, a little down the hill and left into the woods was were the tree with the carvings was. Things like 'AB was here' "Wx + YZ' loveheats with dates, most probably from the 40"s or 50"s. Seemed ancient to me, the oldest I could have been was seven! Beekay, think I remember where your talking about, the cave rings a bell there was a water feature, probably man made? You could cross the railway to the road. Can't recall if it was gap in the fence, but seem to recal
  5. Are we talking about the same gate Beekay,, as a youngster I found it very complicated! abit like dealing with the Coop doors! Those woods were considered Well dodgy by the early eighties as were the colick crossing toilets!! Do you remember the 'clearing' with old tree? Had lot's of carvings in it?
  6. Confusion could be Pianos me thinks, they had some cracking second hand guitars, bass section downstairs, not a keyboard in sight!... Think a chap that was in Colin Staples Breadline used work their at the time.
  7. Fould's was on Market St! Possibly as late as '92 Definitely deserves a second look..
  8. One of my earliest memory's is Father Tyson dropping a bottle, smashed on the floor in the corner shop!! Bless you..
  9. Please no sub section.. Wouldn't it be easier to banish this stuff to, I not sure here, but a certain amount of posts. hidden until 200? Not on it myself, but I would assume the internet is full of this.. I joined this site to talk about Nottingham.. Must be offputting to new potential contributor, made a similar observation about a year ago..
  10. IHow many runners will J.P. have at next year's Cheltenham Festival....
  11. Sorry..Received a phone call.. Katyay, I'm often accused by my partner of speaking 'Total BS!' I assume the S, stands for sence. I need to ask her what the B stand's for! Phil..fancy a ride on the tube? Hammersmith to Brixton, I'm paying !
  12. Apologies for my lazy posting style, I don't have a keyboard..but still seemed sensible to me. LOL.. The 40 percent came from Norman Lamont, which he reiterated on News night 3 days ago.. What else do you not understand?"
  13. Furlough is about to be slashed.. government thinking 60, others thinking 50, possibly 40 percent. At 80 ..what sort of damage is this doing at the paltry level of 30k in London? The flipside, loads of P"ss takers where I live, sacked my folks window cleaner last week, Personally, I now find myself living in the vicinity of a saw mill!
  14. Which results in a penalty shoot out against the Southern Hemisphere!! Good advice Jim. But I'm Shanks Pony..
  15. Haven't had a car for well over a decade & have relied on weekly internet shopping since 2008.. I agree.. I Picked up some good stuff from online Iceland..never shopped there online previously..
  16. HSR

    Why ?

    Why.. has the general media in isolation developed an obsession with a bookcase backdrop?
  17. What is now a tattoo shop, was the one that had photographic billboards in the window, think it also incorporated the shop next door to the right. Lots of changes here, but one thing remains the same, the area looks neglected. After the building of the Arena I would have liked to think the area would have thrived. Can only assume the Arena does it's own fast food, bar facilities Etc..
  18. Thanks for the link Cliffton..Well that answers my question.. Still not convinced however, when clearance took place of what became the bus station, these were spared. The date plaque I recall was on the corner of Southwell & Manvers, 1905? I my have dreamt it! Regarding stages of bus station, there's a photo that shows two archways back end on Manvers St circa 1890, I'm 99 percent sure they were still there in 1994. When I looked on Google in 2016 they were gone, along with every building until the King Billy.
  19. Thanks Cliffton, yes, and to the right of there, I recall the date plaque, in stone? Wasn't it on the corner? Mary1947, i was thinking Sally army for the clarity shop, but think your right with red cross.
  20. Does anybody know when some of the buildings facing the Fox & Grapes were built, some of which have circular windows, I have always thought they pre date the bus station in style.. Moving forward to 1983.I remember a shop that had large sepia, almost billboard size pictures in the window roughly next door to Flittermans on the corner of Manvers..
  21. Occasion was called Acid Jazz! That Wouldn't have been my definition. Very good 4 piece.. .Female Sax player,, had short cropped hair.. very Dexys. An Old timer on Bongo's, . Can't place the drummer..but he was very good! Double Bass was a young chap, ginger hair, also played the Bell on the Monday Jazz night.
  22. Traditional socialist principal.... DJ..how much was the bill?
  23. R equals 0.7 to 0.9... surely it has to be a max of 0.3 before releasing the purse strings.. unless we obviously adopt masks. We've been making our own..pleats, elastic & Velcro..
  24. Brilliant picture, talk about new meets old! What was the use of the building that appears to have a clock on the corner? First time I went in the 'modern' Hearty was about 1982, many times upstairs, went downstairs for shortlived excellent Acid Jazz night about 1993, only went in the street level bar once. The whole place was pretty much a dump! Hard to believe it was probably less than twenty years old when I first visited! Why pull down the original? was the road widened? Can't even recall what replaced it. I assume that top right of the pic
