Tony 27 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Mick, You are correct. The entrance to Collingham footway is still there ( top of Woolmer Road ) When you entered you walked the length of the houses and the 'footway' opened up. Once through on the right was a fish and chip shop and then the school, further down on the right hand side. I think once you had walked through you came in to Ryeland Crescent. I walked by there the other day. Kind regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ha yes the chippy near Collingham footway, when I lived on Glapton Road I used to often go there, 4 old pence for a bag of chips & a tanner for a mushy pea mix. Mam used to go to a bingo hall that was converted from a cinema on the corner of Ryeland Crescent & Kirk White street (I think), if she'd had a good win we had a slap up fish dinner, mind you she usually lost & then whinged & moaned. ..

Chris P 4 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I believe it was on the corner of Ryeland Crescent and Mayfield Grove if the info from my mum is correct as it was family that ran it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born in the front room at 18 ferriby tce in 1957. went to a nursary school clutching my thunderbirds book then onto t/bridge junior, one year at roland green then off to johannesburg. Cant tell you about the 'incident' as sworn to secrecy. Remember eating loads of sweets though. Hey Stoffell: My best mate at the time went to SA - not sure it was you as I don't recognise your pen moniker. We used to write letters for a time. Check out the 'Born 58, The Meadows' topic. I posted the Trent Bridge Football Team pic from 1968. You in that? I lived across the road from Ryeland Crescent Nursery School. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,534 Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 This is/was the site on which Collygate school was, just a couple of what looked like old Nissen huts when I was there in about 1957, I took this picture a few years ago from Holgate road Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
