Karlton 582 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I worked as a passed cleaner at colwick loco from 1957 sad day when it closed down, i remember george mallard cleaner foreman, nice gent. anyone out there remember him? netherfield was booming then. bournes factory, i had a sister work there. also remember the clock on the wall and the workers piling out when the hooter went off. I believe there was a fish shop on the corner of deabil street that was coal fired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Don't know if it was coal fired or not, but they made some pretty good fish and chips. Often called in there at night on the way home from the Ritz or the Regal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karlton 582 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I lived for seven years down dunstan street, happy days then. you could walk down the street any time of day and you'd always see a railwayman. I believe there was a chippy near the first crossing on the same side as the fox and hounds pub. went to the ritz many times as a youngster, sometimes queueing nearly to the beeroff when a classic film was shewn. sat many times on the regal steps, you had to ask an adult to take you in if it was an 'A' film and then split up inside. much different to-day. I'm showing me age now. I joined the army cadets at carlton drill hall probably about 1953 or thereabouts, brilliant experience. i wonder if it still recruits the youngsters of to-day? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
