Beefsteak 305 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I know (Or I'm pretty sure) I got this off of here a few years ago, I rediscovered it today whilst trolling through my favourites links, I can't find the original link on here anywhere so I thought I'd re post it as it's quite interesting, and may be of interest to the new , and not so new , members. http://www.nottingha...leid=4116#I J K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 From Beefy's original post: SHERBROOKE, Robert ("Rupert") St Vincent (1901 - 1972) Naval hero. \snip\ I had occasion to meet this man. As teenage schoolkids a group of us were interested in ghost hunting. I was selected to approach the Admiral's house in order to ask permission from him to ghost hunt in the old Oxton Hall. To my surprise he readily gave consent and spent a long time talking about the place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 All the Medders folks were famous. Me included. Don't know about those from the less well-off areas of Nottingham. I mean the Medders was the pinacle of style and elegance. Nobody could wear their wellies like we could. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alan (Wack) Walker 14 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 When I was in Yates Wine Lodge ie The Talbot was in my twenties am 64 now and remember that famous character who used to frequent there he wouldn't be that unusual today with our different standards, but everyone new Albert Brown the flamboyant gay chap, I didn't know much about him just to say ayup Albert, remember the buckles on his shoes and his cravat(bit like Quentin Crisp), He died a long while ago now, anyone now about him? ie What year he was buried and where, what he died from, his family, where he lived, what was his job?

DAVIDW 1,674 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That link at the top of the page from last year doesn't seem to go anywhere for me but I assume it should have linked to this : http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4116 Sherry Hewson (Hutchinson) was at Gedling School , a year younger than me but we used to go round to her house in Burton Joyce often as they had a lot of parties . My best mate fancied her and she actually mentions that in her book . Her brother Brett was a DJ at the Palais for quite a while , may have called himself Paul Brett ? Says in the blurb that she was from a show biz family but I only remember her mum having a clothes shop on Hockley and her dad dealt in textiles . Her cousin is Gary Birtles . Another famous Gedling pupil was Steve Hodge of Forest , Spurs and England fame . I'm glad the list included Fred Karno (as in Fred Karnos Army) as I have an old book about him from the 1930s and a few cuttings . He wasn't born in Nottingham but was raised there and it was him that discovered and featured Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel in his touring troupe . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 There was a topic about him following his death a few years ago. It did seem to engender some "discussion" at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

systema 13 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sheery Hewson used to go out with Rob Duffy who was in the Nottingham band The Children and has mentioned him a couple of times on Loose Women - don't know if it is the book as I have not read it.
