Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 You and your wife live the life of Riley, catfan. The thing that took my eye in the Lime Kiln photo was the posh red car in the car park. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not guilty Michael ! "Ruby" was well tucked up in the garage, nice & dry. As the "Lime Kiln" is within easy walking distance from home always leave "Ruby" at home. Never drink & drive, you know it makes sense ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Years ago - trekking back to Grindon from the freezer store in Bulwell , i passed the old barrack hall near the lido; a skip was being filled. Sharp eyed as ever i sauntered in for a nosey! I dropped me bags of E34etc.. and oiked out a gigantic mat- the cemetrical pattern and colours told me it was 30's. Dragged it home ( heavy) cleaned it and sold it on Derby Rd. for £60. Never forgot that old drillhall- is it now a drive thru? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that old drill hall was used for the territorials - it became a Doctor's Surgery run by Dr Grant from the old Bulwell Health Centre on Main Street........

colly0410 1,181 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I was a taxi driver at Central cars in the mid 80's & early 90's, most runs started or ended in the Bulwell area. Never had any violence or trouble & only had one runner, not in Bulwell but on the Edwards Lane estate. Salt of the earth are most Bulwell folks.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Colly: spoke like a true gent: any Bulwellians recall the mobile shops that tooted their horns in Bulwell and Bestwood est?

Guest Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Pottering this morning ( age? ) got thinking about an old Bulwell mate of mine- sadly long gone- Ken Clayton. Fought against the japs- worked with him for two years- great tales about old Bulwell. No pasty eating chavs with bad kids squeezed into black leggins' then!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
