Commemorative plaques have been discussed a while back.

The Civic Society had plans for them to be installed across the city with the Evening Post underwriting the costs. After the Bailey Formans sold the Evening Post the new management quietly dropped the idea.

Tug Wilson was always the most popular suggestion and I know that this was the cause of some exasperation amongst the snobbier elements of the Civic Society.

Nice to see this. In the 1960s I was at Clarendon College with Dick Beckinsale before he went off to RADA. He was a great bloke and a terrific actor in the making. I had a motor scooter in those days and recall him persuading me to give him lifts back to Chilwell when he had missed the last bus!
