Jonab , I saw the appalling varicose veins too, but did you notice the blackheads. Truly horrible.

No blooming wonder I've never been a boob man !

I knew it was the Clinton. I was just trying to flush out who had been there!smile2

I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of having been in the Clinton - I've been in much more insalubrious places since.

All part of life's great tapestry.

 

FLY2, No, I didn't notice the blackheads but then, I wasn't looking at her face - or do you mean she had them elsewhere?

I think you'll find that most of the barmaid's in the Clinton arm's were part time, as they had full time Job's at the other end of Sherwood st ( Forest rd)!!

Probably because they'd be pornographic.!!! Bearing in mind the reputation that Forest rd had!

Know what you mean Waddo but back in the day this area was referred to as Sandfield and quite a select area in which to live.  Not sure that the High Schools would be situated in this vicinity had they have known how it is today not to mention the wonderful houses and  two parks etc. Time waits for no man as they say.  Any one got a spare screw for my Tardis - Wilko's is shut !

Remember it well. As a family, we often walked there and back on a Sunday afternoon, early to mid 60s. Once got caught in a tremendous thunderstorm and dad's new Harris tweed jacket was ruined!

There used to be a good pub at the corner of Goldsmith St and Forest Rd. whose name escapes me but is on the tip of my tongue.

The Vernon Arms was at the corner of Waverly Street & Forest Road East & is now a Sainsbury's express
