Hi Ashley, The correct name for the"Banker horse" is/was Cock horse, they used to hitch the said cock horse to the regular team of hoses to assist them up Derby road. there was a "cock horse" paddock situated at the bottom of Derby road more or less outside the Bell pub Rog -
ASHLEY: You are a couple of years older than me ash,,,, but i'm about 6ft (or shrinking a bit now !?). I went from a thunderbird (with chair) to a racing Itom,,,, to a lambretta !!! Are you from around that area ? Did you frequent the Thornhill Club ? CHRISSY: We had a Savage in our class at Gedling School,,,, Margeret I think. I guess she'd be about 60 now ! Do either of you know Kluk ? He lived on Freda avenue,,,, real name was Klutko (dad was a white russian).

Hi ashley. dont know how old you are but my hubby was born an gladstone street and i dont think he had got to his biking days when he left there and moved to the house on the corner of ramsdale road opposite the westdale tavern. He used to go in the SNUG at the front of the pub with his mum and dad. Can you remember the SAVAGE famliy from the top of cavendish road?

Ayup Ashley My old mate in Nott'm used to work at the heat transfer place, now he's at the incinerator plant been there since Gedling pit closed, I worked for Business post for a long while and went into the London road workshops on a few occations, usually snap time, and I always took my telescopic fishing rod, because, there was a vent where some warm water was released into the canal ,and the fish bit like billyo. It was great watching the expression on the fishermen who had been sat there for hours not catching owt and we popped out for 5 mins and caught loads!!

Blimey Ashley, after all these years! where abouts are you living now? -
Ashley, your description of a round cloud is about right. I don't remember hearing a bang though. I was just begining to think that I had imagined the whole thing! This must have been the collision that I saw. Many thanks, Johnl.

You're not Ashley Durose are you? Hes the only Asley I remember from around the area............... I do remember when the bonfire went up, when we were kids we built a big one on the site where the houses around Palm st had been pulled down, guarding it with great care.....but someone managed to torch it when we werent around! -

Craig Strongman replied to Ashley's topic in Owt' Abaaht Nowt !
Do I assume Ashley you lived near to the Valve Shop? Coincidentally, I am mates with the boys there (the original owners grandsons) Simon, Mark etc, in fact they all used to visit me at The Love Shack regularly (especially Simon) plus, my first new bike came from Jack Claytons next door! As for the factory you mention, I have no idea about it at all, but it was just across the road from where I used to live (Northgate) as a kid. Where was the barbers you mention, cos on Northgate there was Dixons (dickos) and Rogers further down on the same side, just down from Breffits the butchers. I liv -

Local Radio????
Pete C replied to Craig Strongman's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
I used to listen to Trent when it first started..1976 I think..enjoyed Jon Peters show..and Kid Jensen's..also Chris The Mouth Ashley...now you get those prats Jo & Twiggy..absolute garbage..sorry Craig hope they are not friends of yours..but they really are...only local radio I listen to now is Radio Nottingham's football coverage when Forest are playing and that's it...a local radio station should be just that LOCAL or what's the point. As I've said before Craig I prefer Radio Caroline on the internet..I bought a pair of wireless speakers and have them in the kitchen..or take them where -
Sherwood Station?
Dick Hatts replied to mick2me's topic in Kat's Carlton, Mapperley, Arnold & Sherwood Forum
Wow Rob, you actually rode on NSR. I wish some film footage would turn up of it in action. I think they ran a special on the line in the 50's. You'd think someone would have shot some 8mm then. I'm too young to remember it, although we did used to play in the rail cutting on the mapperley branch before they filled it in loads. Used to be a lot bigger even though it was backfilled. Used to be a nature reserve. All the stuff I know about it comes from books I've read. there's a good book by Ashley Durose. Lost railways of Nottinghamshire by Geofrey Kingscott is a good one too. -
Tristram Shandy were named after "The book they could never film" They had a 'backing singer' who never wore (allegedly) Knickers, the guys gathered round the stage to catch a quick peek when she did her spins as part of her dance routine They also backed "Chris Ashley" (Mentioned else where) on his micky take of Forest going to their second European cup final "Magic in Madrid"

I had an argument once with a mate (Chris Ashley to be precise) that Amen Corner were from Nott'm, but the leader (Andy Fareweather-Lowe) turned out to come from Cardiff,so it may be them under a misconception on your part

I'd like to have seen that! I thought Chris Ashley's shows were an absolute hoot in those days. Duncan Hamiltons's sports book of the year Provided you don't kiss me bears wtiness to some of the things that Cloughie would do to help those less fortunate. I went along to Hamilton's talk at Lowdham Book Festival last summer and he reiterated lot's of instances where Brian would step in when somebody needed help. Cloughie was a complicated and contrary man and sometimes his behaviour did not compute with his public principles. I do however think he may well be one of the very last 'working clas
-
On the other hand, much of his kindness and selfless acts in helping people was never advertised. (TO quote Stu) I did actually see Cloughie referee a game to raise funds for some post mens families (The postmen had been killed in a minibus accident returning from a footie match I think) in about 1979/80. Chris Ashley was one of the captains (IMMSC it was a County all stars vs a Forest all stars side, no current players but a load of ex's and various Caleb's) I can't remember the final score but I recall Cloughie giving Chris his marching orders. Craig might fill in some more details cos he

Mentioned elsewhere, Kev Roberts has a radio station called VIP, its available on Sky 0196, or online, if you like soul, northern, motown, disco, mod, and many other genres of music, its definitely worth checking out. Again as mentioned before, as far as im aware, its the only place in the UK to hear the legendary "Mouth" Chris Ashley, however, dont expect the same kind of show he was famous for on Trent and Century from earlier years, this is him playing "mod" music, with far less interuptions!

Radio Trent
Craig Strongman replied to mick2me's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
Yep, even im ion there, as for Chris Ashley, heres a couple of things, firstly, hes on VIP Radio, sky 0196, every saturday evening with a show called The Mod Squad, and, back in 1980, he was responsible for me not being able to walk for 3 days!. Basically, Chris decided i should join him and Graham Knight on a charity walk from Langley Mill, to Market Square in Nottm. We arrived ready for the leisurely walk at 10..00 am, but Chris did his arithmetic and timing, and concluded that if we walked, the pubs would be closed by the time we arrived, and so decided we would run the 11 or so miles.

I love Fred Elliott too he's a classic. I loved Elsie Tanner,she was the original slapper/barmaid wasn't she? & I also remember Jerry played by Graham Haberfield I think?
