I've just been looking for the photo of the Overseas Column in Centrals yard (didn't find it ) and saw this post. In reality, the small number of people abusing the site is minimal in relation to the lovely and interesting people who make this site so interesting . So, spat over, back to great memories of Nottingham and it's life. Regards all..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies to those I misled. It's pre-war AFS uniform, the 'sergeants ' markings would be in red. Same period, 1938 to August 1941. The I think the guy, dead centre is George Hodson, who was Deputy Chief at the time of the Dakins fire , 1969, and soon after Chief Fire Officer. I remember him telling me he was in the AFS. This is a bit late, but Nottingham WAS a Police fire Brigade back from the early part of the 19th century. The Chief Constable being responsible for the running of the brigade. That ended in 1941 when the National fire service was formed. I get there in the end...…. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,413 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I think I've still got my business cards somewhere... If i remember they were part of Dunlop and absorbed into National Tyres. Sneinton House was next door and every day there was some poor sod sleeping in the back of a van. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
