PeverilPeril 3,153 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I raced in the Harvey Hadden league for the first few seasons. Although I had won the league on Melbourne Park grass track I just did not have the speed when we moved to the hard track. OKish but not a winner. Got a pic of me racing there somewhere. More than likely that Rob L's dad took it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN123. 9,325 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Did this place become a 6th form college at Bilborough? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,119 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yes. This was Bilborough Grammar School. Looking at the car registration letters this was taken about 1977 so it would have been the Bilborough College by then. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jopip 31 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I realise this is going back a little but I have just come across the photo posted by cliff Ton on March 7th 2018 under ' Proper Bilborough.' An amazing photo showing the old house I lived in for over 25 years until 1976. I knew so many people in those houses & can name every Road & park on the picture. I would like to know the approximate date of that photo if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when on an early shift. That was back in 1962-66 when I was a conductor then driver. Corr!!!!!! as long as that? I don't know much about Bilbrough when my brain is in gear Pelican , Indoor Bowls, The Beechdale, The Cocked Hat (all though this could be Strelley ) Astral Grove ? small cul de sac back of Wigman road i think behind the school.
