Hi I'm Caroline and I'm researching old bars in Nottingham I was wondering if anyone remembers the mill? I think it opened in the mid 1990s and closed in 2002. It was an old converted warehouse on woolpack lane. Would love it if anyone has any memories or could tell me what it was like? (the good, the bad, the....)

This is an extract from my dad's speech back in 2001 at his and my mum's Golden Wedding. I'm interested in any of the people, places and companies mentioned. Speech by Derek Chawner: After fifty wonderful years' of marriage we've reached our Golden Wedding although I've known Sylvia for fifty seven years. I first saw Sylvia in a small cafe called Billy's in Mount Street, Nottingham near to my place of work: Willsons the Printers. I was an indentured apprentice earning the princely sum of 18s 1p a week which was, at the time, 20% of a journeyman pri -
Hi all, I’m trying to find information relating to a restaurant in Market Street Nottingham around the year 1900 - 1904. It was run by a family member of mine who I know very little of, his name was Quintino Pelotto, the restaurant was called The Cafe Royal, address 34 Market Street. Kelly’s directory shows the restaurant for 1904 but I’d really like to learn when Quintino took over, or maybe bought the place, how long they were in business, anything I can find. I do know they left Nottingham for London, something else I am researching with the help of the Fulham and Hammersmith local

Help please! I hope I am not imagining this. I was born in 1951, I lived on Independent Street and went to Douglas Road school. I remember walking home and cutting through what must have been Radford mill. I walked up Garden Street then went left into a factory area. I walked through and came out on Norton Street. Now here’s where I am struggling, I vividly remember seeing small boats floating in a small pool on the right hand side as I walked through. Was there some sort of boat repairer there? My brother who is 3 years older than me thinks I am making it up, I can’t find anything about it so

Re your post on The Bobbers Mill crossing you and the chap who answered your post you are totally wrong with regards to some of the detail. I am Marie (nee Marshall) and I am the 3rd oldest of my 4 siblings. You were correct as far as our family name but were wrong in what you said about my mother. She didn't go around in an army greatcoat & boots pushing a "barrow" if your referring to my youngest sister Jaqueline I know for a fact that she had a push chair, the only one of us that had special needs was my brother Peter who was 4th of the 5 of us, he suffered with a heart murmur from birth. I really would ask people to get their facts right before submitting throw away comments on other people's lives.
The chap that said Peter had Callipers is also totally wrong, I don't know who he was talking about but it wasn't my brother!!

Which year was Jacqueline born? I do have some photos of later Berridge classes but she may have been too young to be on them.
-
She was born in 1960. I don't have any photo's, sorry.
-
That's a shame. She's too young to be on the ones I have which are a complete set for those born 1958/59. Close but not close enough. Still, at least you've recognised someone from the other two photos.

Ayup Chulla, I know your dad was a fine sign-writer, could this be a bit of his handiwork ? https://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/food-drink/renovation-work-uncovers-original-sign-1228956

When I was a child and we lived on Bobbers Mill Road, if the wind was in a certain direction and when it was quiet at night, we could hear Little John striking the hour from The Council House in Market Square. I recall also the hammering of the water pipes, often in the early hours of the morning, probably due to an airlock in the lead pipes. It ran through a whole row of houses and really made you jump!

Does anyone remember the mill cafe on bobbers mill? Run by the West family?

Hi Jill,
I was just scrolling through posts on Bobbers Mill when I came across your post on the Wheatsheaf Hotel. I remember it well, I used to fetch fish and chips for the drinkers in the beer garden.I would climb over the wall where the swings used to be,and across to the fish and chip shop. It would have been around 1952 to 56. What a shame that it is to be a Macca,s site. I now live in Australia emigrated in 56, attended Whitemoor and Ellis schools. I have tried to contact old friends with no luck.
-
Yes, I remember The Wheatsheaf very well. Your memories will be a bit earlier than mine but I do remember the swings. It was a quiet place to sit outside with the family on warm summer evenings. Like everything else, it's all changed now. It's some years since I was in the area.
Don't give up on the search for old friends. It's amazing who stumbles across this site, given time.

My Mum, who passed on last September, always said she spent her early years somewhere called 'Nut Yard' which would likely have been in either Radford or Bobber's Mill. She was born 1923, and by 1929 was living in Grindon Crs Bulwell Hall. My maternal family's association with the old Gatehouse at Bobber's Mill is well documented, but I can find no reference to 'Nut Yard' anywhere. Can any of our local historians help? Col

Hi Everyone, Been gone from Nottingham for ever but during the late 50's remember the scene in the Market Square when school boys and girls would change buses. During this time when we were mid teens people would go to the Buttery Café located below The Mikado. Met many people here from different schools etc. Would love a photograph of that building and any thoughts people may have about this time. Thanks

I see that the Clifton Bridge Cafe is about to be bulldozed. I hadn't realised that it had been featured on a few TV programmes. Below is the Nottingham Post report. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Clifton-Caf-featured-Auf-Wiedersehen-Pet/story-25708658-detail/story.html

Can anyone put me out of my misery. I remember as a child being very fond of a cafe roughly on the corner of beeston square opposite the bank and the traffic lights. I think it was painted blue. I remember it stank of oil and fags and had an unusual sliding door either at the front or midway in. My mother can't remember it so I'm hoping I didn't dream it!

I was sorting through some old paperwork today and found this. I don't know how old it is but I thought some of you may be interested in it. I logged onto their website and have included it below. http://nccnetwork.wordpress.com/

Anyone out there remember The Windmill Café on Angel Row? As a child in the 50s I was fascinated by the little cream/white model windmill mounted on the wall above Mitsons (hand made chocolates). The sails rotated and were illuminated by clear glass bulbs. The entrance was in Hurts Yard and it had become a Chinese restaurant when I finally got to visit in about 1968 when I was at Peoples College. The Chinese guy (owner?) would greet you on entering by asking "Table for how many?" The Windmill remained on the wall outside for many years even though it no longer turned or was illuminated. Wh

Like to know the history of radford mill. Like to know what it was built for if anyone knows(Was aircraft parts made here?

On the Ollerton Road at White Post, Farnsfield, which is now Winner City chinese restaurant, was a transport cafe which I remembered as Robin Hood cafe, but would like anyone who knew the place then to confirm that it was known as that. I have seen on other threads that Babs has mentioned White Post cafe and wonder if this was the same place? We would frequent the cafe in the evenings for a Coke or a coffee, and there was a slot machine near the door which we played on which measured the speed of your reactions. You dropped in a 3d piece and then with the same hand had to push a knob to stop

So sad Hollies Café in Upper Parliament street has now closed down after 34 years, always used to go to Hollies café when we went into the city shopping , no fancy foods or fancy coffee you got down to earth food and good service and mugs to drink out off. Will now have try the one's in Vicky centre food market, are they any good?

During the 1960s there was a shop on the corner of Portland Street and Mansfield Road, Daybrook, opposite the shops at the bottom of Byron Street. In the back of this shop was a small café. It was definitely there in 1966 - I used to take my girlfriend in there for tea fairly regularly. I can't for the life of me remember the name of that shop or even what it sold, although it might have been general groceries. Can anyone tell me what the Café or shop was called, please?
-
This shows a couple of places I don't think have been mentioned before. This is Milton Street, facing the bottom end of Trinity Square; Victoria Hotel and Station would be just off to the left I assume the Marsden's place is connected to the grocery shop people.

Does anyone know if the old textile mill in Ilkeston called Armstrong's Mill had a name before the JB Armstrong company moved in? Or has it always been called that and is there a tie up between the company and the original owner?

Maybe an appointment like this might cheer a few Notts and Forest fans up! http://www.thisisnot...tail/story.html Still determined to prove her worth at Stags IT'S fair to say that the appointment of Carolyn Still as Mansfield Town's new chief executive has raised a few eyebrows. At 29, she is thought to be the youngest chief executive of a professional football club raised a few eyebrows. The new Mansfield Town CEO Carolyn Still That, combined with model-esque looks, illustrated by the picture accompanying the press release to announce her arrival, was enough to attract the int
