Caz 25 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Yeah I see it Robin. That's interesting. How far is Calverton from Nottingham city centre? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Just shows the "Tripod" logo. An old mate of mine who served his apprenticeship at the same time as myself came from Calverton and worked at the colliery. We both started with the NCB about the same time, did our basic training and tech college at the same time. At that time, during the 1960's, Calverton Colliery had a bright future, like Cotgrave and Bevercoates as being new collieries. Sadly, all gone now, amazing though, most of the posters here can remember when you didn't have to travel too far to see the headstocks of a colliery around the city of Nottingham and it's shire. Names that conjure up memories, Radford, Wollaton, Clifton, Gedling, Linby, Hucknall number 1 and 2, Cotgrave, Calverton Bestwood and Babbington made up the NCB number 6 area. Then to the north was Newstead, Ollerton, Bevercoates, Pyehill, Silverhill, Bentinck, Sutton, Mansfield, and many more names that are all closed and filled in with a concrete cap over the shafts.

Cali Gal 1 Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well, we'll let you off the hook this time!! I'm not a beer drinker myself, but any little beer company is better than the big ones!! We have beer on tap at our house at all times, and you'll never see a keg of Bud, Coors, or Miller! Currently it's holding Sierra Nevada, a local micro-brewery that my husband describes as "Just Hoppy enough without being too hoppy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Is it anything like Elsie Mo Cali ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
