NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 She lived across from Mapperley Plains social club 'Miners Welfare' for a number of years. Every year a tribute band 'Mercury' play there and the lady always came over to watch them play had the pleasure of shaking her hand once. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 My wife's elder brother did a heap of soft furnishings and curtains for her over the years, and became very friendly with the family, when he told people he knew Freddy's mum, most thought he was joking !

denshaw 2,869 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 She lived a few houses along from the Treetops pub, my sons friend used to do the gardens for her and my bosses wife used to do her hair. I think her daughter still lives there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
