TheFrog 4 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Born and bred in St Anns and very passionate of my heritage. Although we moved from the area, my Great Aunt lived there right up until demolition. Then moved to council houses in Aspley and finally Bilborough. Last one on Hanslope Crescent. Looking forward in being part of this nostalgic forom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFrog 4 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Welcome to the Forum Frog, you'll find lots of good stuff on here so get browsing and posting with your memories and recollections. There are a few of us St Annsians on here, whereabouts did you live there? Hi I was born at 28 Pym Street as was my mother Marjorie and my sister Gillian. It was the home of my Great Aunt, Florence Williams (on my mothers side). She was the 'Ladies Waiting Room Attendant' at the Nottingham Vic Station. She was an exceptional person to me and was my mentor. She lived in the house right up until demolition and then she was rehoused in a one bedroom council flat in Bilborough which she hated. Although we moved to Aspley and Bilborough, I was still visiting Aunty Flo right up until she moved and I was in my late teens and she too came to us. I loved the St Anns then, the shops, the people places like the 'Cavvo' it was just a lovely place to be. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi thank you for the welcome. I was born at 28 Pym Street opposite Moffat Street in 1948.

mary1947 2,082 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hi Frog Small world my husband's grandma lived on Monk St which used to be near Pym St (I think) but I'm talking of the year 1929. If your mum or any of your family can remember the Haywood's or Dawn's. Then we are nearly neighbour's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
