Dunno Rob, I left Nottingham in early 1975, I was at Clifton Estate at that time. I left the UK in 79, so I'm completely out of touch now...

Now that would be a shock Rob!! I have done my best over the ten or more years I've been on the internet to trace old mates down with very little success.

About what time would the Magna Carta have been demolished,does anyone know? I remember as a girl in The Meadows going to the area where the pub was to call for a school friend & I remember quite clearly that pub on the corner,please tell me it was on a corner orI may think I'm losing my faculties among other things !!!

I do like a good 6-year bump!

One of the copies is kept in Lincoln Castle Prison and not the Cathedral.

I often take a trip out to Southwell - courtesy of my bus pass. First thing I do when I arrive at the historic town is take a walk up through the twitchell to the local Co-op. In there, I'll buy sandwiches and fruit, plus a couple of cans of something - normally Gin and Tonic. Then I'll make my way to the Minster, choose a pew in the grounds.

I'll enjoy my meal, read a little and then go take a look around the Minster and consider the wonderful gargoyles and architecture of this beautiful, historic church - both inside and out.

Afterwards, I'll normally visit the library - love libraries; how civilized of the place to provide a drinks making machine now. Oh, and then after the library I'll visit the antique shops - take a browse round.

How privileged I am, to be able to make a journey for free to such an interesting and varied Nottinghamshire village, that isn't too far from the City.

Not something I particularly enjoy but I find a little shopping trip to Southwell Co-op makes the chore reasonably enjoyable!

I also like a little visit to the library there - usually to delve into the local interest books.

Southwell - with all it's charm and history - is easily for me the most attractive town in Nottinghamshire.

Take a trip to Lincoln Jackson,the cathedral is an amazing structure to walk around inside and out.

If you take the pedestrian route,up the steep hill from the town,be sure not to hit the 'gin and tonic' till you reach the top.

Have to agree, love a visit to the Cathedral Quarter in Lincoln. Would highly recommend the guided roof tour of the cathedral - fascinating (and a great view).
