tabbyoddsocks 28 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I have been lurking about reading this forum for a few years, but just decided to join. I was born on Cavendish Road, Carlton, went to Carlton Central Primary School (when it fell down) then Carlton Le Willows Grammar School. I went out with and married a Netherfield lad, and moved to Netherfield, now at Bakersfield so didn't go far. I have worked at Boots, Thorn, and Hillarys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi there tabby, welcome to Nottstalgia, pleased you've taken the plunge! I too went to C-le-W GS and also worked at Thorn, maybe we knew each other back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Oh ok, I was there 1961-66, Stanhope House. I don't remember your name (read it on a reply you made to Piggy and Babs) but 2 years was a big age gap at that age! Nice to have another C-le-W ex-pupil on Nottstalgia though, not many of us on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 You are much younger than me, tabby! I started in 1954 when the school building opened... but as Lizzie says, it's good to have more ex C le W students on NS. I was in Carnarvon House. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Draycott, Mr Riley, Miss Squires, Mr Lee, Mr Todd, Miss Wood and Mr Roberts, Mr Lloyd and lots of other teachers made it a great place to learn. I was in Bardolph House. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Some of those teachers were there when I was... I particularly remember Mr Lee, Miss Squires and Mr Todd- the first two taught me in the 6th form - Geography and French. Mr Marshall was the first headmaster but after he died in a climbing accident, Mr Draycott became the head. Mr Todd once wrote in my report that I was "impatient with all but my favourite music" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I loved school too and have such happy memories of my 5 years there. Which Thorn establishment did you work at? Are you on Facebook tabby? There's a closed group for the school which you might enjoy. Margie and I are both members of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tabbyoddsocks 28 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I was at Thorn Consumer Electronics on Colwick Industrial Estate. I was there for about 3 years until it closed down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I worked at Thorn Bendix/Thorn Automation on Beech Avenue in New Basford for 8 years. Again, I spent very happy years there and only left because I was getting married and moving away from Nottingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am on a couple of the photos. Tried tagging myself on one, but, of course, it gave my married name not my maiden name. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
