hi, on the subject of Bob Patchett the tailors I know it wasn’t Bob’s son who kept it going. It was actually my Uncle Peter Cross. Peter was Bobs apprentice and he purchased the business in the early

Where was the L-Shaped Room ?   I certainly never went in it (not old enough) but I don't think anyone has mentioned its actual location.   EDIT I've answered my own question,

Trinity square was always the starting point for trips into town  on alighting a  number 6..17,,or 28 bus........i remember the Trinity church and graveyard and was sorry to see it go..even digging up

I recall a similar scene where the church was being demolished, how long ago was that, can anyone recall??

Yes it would be about that, the new 'Holy Trinity Church' which replaced it was built on the top junction of Farnborough Road/Southchurch Drive in Clifton, I got married there in 1976, can remember it as though it were yesterday - if it was tomorrow, I wouldn't go!

I thought it was later than that Den, I do recall there was a stink about it as the church had been there for a very long time, probably before the area was built up the way we knew it. The cemetary had to be relocated, every grave moved according to cannon law!

Dixons in Ilkeston is now Currys who took Dixons over. It is near the top of Bath Street. ;)

Currys didnt take Dixons over, they were both part of DSG, as is woolworth ( or were) and PC World. They merely decided they needed a change of strategy as far as "branding" was concerned.

I did find an image of Trinity Square Before the car park was built

Trinity Square 1952

hey guys, that photo brings back a few memories, especially as some of the graves that were exhumed were plague victims. placed in that churchyard because it was considered far enough away from the castle gates.

like the site by the way.

Orcada.
