There's some brilliant ads for Nottingham shops from the 60's on this site.

3 Bedroom house in The Park for £5900!

Happy days.

Zoopla estimates 6 Lincoln Circus The Park at £255K.

Good investment if you had the money in the 1960s. I didn't.

I paid £5K for my first house in Long Eaton in 1974. Zoopla reckons it's worth about £100K now.

The Estate Agents old saying Location, location, location springs to mind.

The Grosvenor Mansfield Rd. The Berni upstairs was my first experience of "fine dining" lol

My dad played dominos at The Grosvenor on Friday nights in the 50s,

It was my local in the late 60s. I well remember standing in the courtyard one hot summers night in 1968 with a pint of warm Home Ales bitter in one hand and a Players No 6 fag in the other whilst the smell of grilled steak wafted out the upstairs windows and "Lady Willpower" by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap blared out the jukebox downstairs.

I wasn't 18 until August but hell, how cool was I? Answer: not very, but I didn't know that then.

A few years back my daughter's boyfriend at the time said he'd discovered an amazing pub not far from Trent Uni. I thought he was referring to The Peach Tree (now Langtry's) or even The Spread Eagle (gone now I think) but no, he was referring to The Grosvenor.

I must call in next time I'm passing.

Bernis were great,,,then got greedy.Side salad became an extra,and the selection of cheeses!...oh there was a selection,but you were only allowed one of them.

Then the Savoy opened and that was the Grosvenors monopoly gone.
