Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Welcome, Christine. I remember Norton Street from my childhood. Up Radford Boulevard, left into Hartley Road and right into Norton Street, past the fragrant Barnett Sweet Factory, en route to see relatives in Garden Street between 1958 and 65. The film brings back many memories of that area and era. Many years since I last visited but I couldn't get my bearings at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Welcome Christine, sincerely hope you visit Nottstalgia with memories of Norton Street. I lived on Denton Street, just off Denman Street, (just a little way up from Norton street). Look forward to more posts. Incidentally, I too was in S.& S.M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I might be able to look through it and find the relevant scene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I had a cousin, Brian Burton, who lived at 50 Norton St. when he first.married in the 50’s. He became a coal merchant (Harby’s Fuels). He later went on to become the landlord of the Red Lion at Stow on the Wold. Coincidentally his sister was the landlord, at the same time, of another Red Lion at Bicker, Lincs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 On the corner of Norton Street and Hartley Road was a large building which, I believe, was a children's home. The walls around it were constructed of sandstone which, in places, was badly eroded and honeycombed. To me, as a very young child in my pushchair, it looked like the inside of a Crunchie bar and I thought it was edible! I invariably asked my mum, as we passed, to let me take a bite. She'd tell me not to be so silly and give me that nonplussed look that often came my way when I was little! Needless to say, it has now all gone. Maybe someone ate it! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 That was known as ,'Hartley road home', a bloke I used to know went there as a nipper. He had no idea who his parents were. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
