  1. After researching my maternal grandparents The Brooks, I found out that my Great Grandparents William and Henrietta brook's lived on the Stockhill Estate and had 17 children, a few of the family married and settled in the area, including Bar Lane. Their 2nd child was my Grandfather Albert Brooks who I never saw, and another son went on to own Nottingham scrap metal in Radford. I have recently discovered that they are laid to rest in a Bulwell cemetery.
  2. I haven't posted on this site before, but I do like to read the comments, but after reading comments by Mick Fenner, regarding Nottingham Scrap Metal and the BROOKS family, I have recently become aware of the sad death of Tom Brooks at the age of 89,I didn't personally know Tom, who died in November 2020, but have since learnt that he was a lovely family man and will be sadly missed, Tom started the buisness in Radford and was not adverse into rolling his sleeves up and grafting. Back in the 60s he won the contract to strip Wollaton and Clifton pits of scrap metal, prior to demolition. RIP TOM
