Juliaw 2 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 hi ,I lived at number 10 Orange Street during the late fifties to early 60's where I met my still very best friend Alison West. Both now in our 60's. Looking to find our old school pals from Colleygate School if anyone is around. Lots of very fond memories of the meadows and never forget my roots! Moved away when I was 7 yrs old I remember so well the Public Baths where Al and me used to push the pram laden with washing plus kids piled on top. Not quite sure if I am posting this in the right place but sure someone will tell me right or wrong! Love reading the stuff on here and Nottingham will always be a huge part of my life even though I now live in Spain. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Welcome to the site, Juliaw. I remember the alternative to the wash-house, was the 'Bendix' launderette just round the corner on Arky, a few doors down from the petrol station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 This is the end of Orange Street where it joined Arkwright Street and I reckon No. 10 is somewhere along the white arrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,582 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I was at Colleygate school,first school I attanded,would be about 1957,don't remember much about it though,there is a photo of some class mates from the school in the schools thread,check that out you might be lucky and recognise someone in the picture Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BryanC 16 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's a great picture and less blurred than my memory. If I remember correctly, the petrol pumps were in front of the hoarding, and carrying on up Arkwright St on the same side, I remember Pete's chippie,a pram shop ( and then Horsburgh's outfitters and carpets ? ) Was that Kirkby St just going out of the picture at the top, and the trees on Arkwright St were the Church? .....and perhaps the New Bridge PH where the white building is bottom left. Great days and happy times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We lived on Ryeland Crescent and mum used to load the pram with the weeks laundry and take me and my two brothers along. We weren't allowed in the actual wash house so had to stay outside in a tiny, barren, tiled waiting room for hours, bored to hell. Whenever the doors swung open we could peek inside and see the industrial sized machines and dryers and clouds of steam. Can't say they were fond memories, in my mind it's all black and white imagery. Dark, dark days....but very clean laundry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Unfortunately, yet another case of someone who made one interesting post and never came back. Juliaw started this thread in September 2015 and hasn't returned to check out the replies and additional information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazbo 3 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Ah well, we'll keep our fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
