TBI 2,351 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's much improved in recent years Margie, but when it's hot or the wind's in the wrong direction, cor! We don't live there, but walk along the river-side quite often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Crabtree Farm is very salubrious, as good if not better than Hucknall Blondie ! So stick that in your pipe & smoke it ! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie 1,392 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Crabtree Farm is very salubrious, as good if not better than Hucknall Blondie ! So stick that in your pipe & smoke it ! Gosh ! Salubrious is a posh word, far to posh for Bulwell --------- Incidently, I don't smoke a pipe and I don't live in Hucknall either.........I had some great friends who once lived on Crabtree Farm Estate, just happen to fall foul of a couple of Bulwell Health Centre Barstewards during the 70's and 80's, both natives on Bulwell..............hated Bulwell ever since.....

DJ360 6,721 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I had a wander round Bulwell a couple of weeks ago. First time I've just set out to look around the place since the planners knocked it about. They pushed 'Bulwell High Road' through as some sort of by-pass to allow for pedestrianisation of main street. They completely farked the bottom end of Hempshill Lane so that it now doesn't reach Main St/Cinderhill Rd any more., etc, etc. I remember Bulwell before Seller's Wood, Crabtree etc. Lovely little town with its own character. I think a surprising amount of the character remains, but the way the Leen has been largely turned into a ditch behind a series of car parks for Tesco etc., really isn't very inspiring. Commercial Road, such as it is now, could be any row of low grade shops in any town in the country.The library opposite the 360 Club was a lovely building. Looks very sad now. Progress eh?

catfan 14,793 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Bulwell High Road like Hucknall Bypass was constructed to save outsiders from having to view the town center's ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
