IAN FINN 556 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 notty ash it is a Humber Super Snipe it had the Blue Ribband six cylinder engine 4.1 litre ohv exellent fuel economy 12mpg if you were lucky worked on them in the late 50s and early 60s. I think they put the same engine in the Commer lorry. I wish i had one now just for shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fogrider 179 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 I can't find the Notty Ash post referred to, but near to me is Alan Marshall, the Humber collection. He is selling his cars, now's your chance ! I think shipping to you would put you off though. I have a Commer with the Blue Riband in it, gobbled so much juice I converted it to LPG . His cars are for sale on ebay but internet searches will bring stuff up aswell. Regards all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I Went to school near there and we always knew it as Georges pond. Like you denshaw, when I went to Roland green, we always knew it as 'George's ' pond. The field on the other side of the road was where the pit ponies stayed!, When they came out of the pit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mcleod 0 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi everyone. My grandmother was a student nurse at Ransom in the mid 1950's and I am trying to see if anyone from that era is around or has photos of the staff? Her name at the time would of been Ursula Marianne Schumann or Flint. If anyone has anything at all, I would be very thankful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 9,854 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 David, hopefully someone might see your message and come up with information, but have you also looked at this website which covers all the main Nottingham hospitals and might be useful. http://www.nottinghamhospitalshistory.co.uk/index.html 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it's one of the rooms on here, which was down the south side of the Exchange building. The front of the Exchange is on the left, facing the Market Square. "Poultry" along the bottom is where the Flying Horse was. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae24/kc29_2010/kc29_2010001/exchange1_zpsplwes4q9.jpg You know Cliff Ton, I never thought I'd live long enough to ever read the sad words: 'Where the Flying Horse was' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 5,267 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 They certainly were opposite the Odeon and did have a large illuminated sign. I’ve spent some time there in the past preparing and auditing their accounts. Behind the scenes it was a rabbit warren. Even more so when they took over AB Gibson’s and went right through to Parliament St. There was a turntable in Gibson’s for spinning their vans round. Pearsons’ directors used to park in there. John Pearson used to enter at speed in his Jensen Interceptor, break hard on the turntable which spun round to face the exit. Good to watch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
