Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Ayup jac47uk. Welcome and have fun. I delivered milk for a short spell in Sherwood in 1974 for the Co-op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jac47uk 0 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thank you Katyjay and Michael Booth for your posts much appreciated I remember Saturday morning minors at the Metropole think it cost 6d and what fun we had. Katyjay from 1970-1983 lived on Hood Street so could well have known your sister-in-law her name wasn't Bev by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jac47uk 0 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks Bilbraborn for the welcome You wouldn't happen to know one of my best mates Alan Horton (ex-milkman now) by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jac47uk 0 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry names don't ring a bell I was born 46 but didn't move to Sherwood until I was 6 and went to Seely School on Perry Road Was Linda Mansfield Road end of Hall Street or Hood Street end? I worked at the Home Ales off-license at the corner of Mansfield Road and Hall Street in the '70's' so was Linda living on Hall Street then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,090 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi jac, my s-i-l was Mansfield Rd end of Hall St, number 9. She married in 1966, lived the first few years a few doors from #9, till they moved to Rise Park in 1972. Her brother Bob most likely was at school with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry Jac. I joined the Beechdale dairy in Feb 1974 and after training worked relief for 3 rounds - One at the Arboretum and two at Sherwood. One of the Sherwood ones did Mansfield Road, Hood St., Hall St, Mansfield St,. and all the streets around them. The other did Cresta Gardens, Winchester and Woodthorpe Courts, Mapperley Drive, Sherwood Rise, Penarth Gardens and a few more. I was only on it for about four months when they transferred the Sherwood rounds to Meadow Lane and put me on a round at the Newly built Bestwood Park Estate. I transferred to Co-op Long Eaton Dairy shortly after that. My old head can't remember any names from Beechdale dairy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I only did the round a couple of days a week. I can't remember the name of the roundsman I relieved but I remember he was the caretaker or churchwarden of a church on Mansfield Road in Sherwood. I remember having to carry the crates of milk up a steep hill during a snowy day because the roads were too slippery for the electric float. It might have been Fairbank gardens or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,086 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 My sister and brother in law live down hall street.. If it's number 21, can they see if my Great Grandad left anything in the loft from when he and his family (including Grandad) lived there in the 1880s? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
