Hi Cliff Ton can you remember or know of anyone who used drive the lorries for Sarah White from Bulwell,they were based at Nuthall right where the motorway bridge is now they also had petrol station there as well with many different brands available, and were prabably one of the first petrol stations in Notts to sell the cheaper JET fuel in the late 50s and 60s.They had a fleet of Bedford trucks and a few Dodges, this would be in the early 60s,l think some of the Bedfords were ex.military and were brought from Ruddington along with many spare parts.I dont remember Mr and Mrs White snr. too well but remember their son and daughter Edna and Eddy quite well i would have been about 9 years old at the time.

Hi Beekay it was great reading about the wrestlers of days gone by,you said you could not remember who his partner was i believe it was Vic Faulkner.In 1965 when i was stockcar racing at Long Eaton they presented the trophy to the winner of Grand Final.I think they were a tag team.

Hi Compo i remember the brickworks at Watnall and saw the demolition crew knock the chimneys down but i can not remember military place near the brick works, our fathers were a good source of local history but they never shared too much information its a pity.
