Beekay 2,902 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 I swear it wasn't me your honour. I've not bin in that area for donkeys years and I've never used an aerosol. When I were last in that area, there were no such thing as aerosols. Any road! I plead diminished responsibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 4,215 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury I put to you that no one has mentioned aerosols and yet the defendant, unerringly and without prompting, correctly identified the vandals instrument of choice. Why one has to wonder, would someone use initials not there own? The defendant has previously admitted to an intimate knowledge of the area and the hidden access and egress such acts of foul vandalism would require and only someone with the defendants skills in the use of paint would know the best colour to gain maximum contrast for his heinous crime. I rest my case... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,644 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Beekay, you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence if there is something which you later rely on at the next meet up. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

70s lanender 2 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 On 5/18/2020 at 8:26 PM, Cliff Ton said: The pub which was on the site of those flats changed its name at least once. It started life as the Ginger Tom in the 60s, but by the 90s it was called the Starting Gate. When the building was demolished in the early 2000s, the name Starting Gate was re-used on a new place nearer the racecourse. If you click around on that link via Streetview you can turn round to see the other side of the road. That's where the pub was located (Ginger Tom and later Starting Gate). I didn't know the area but prior to the pub(s) it seems to have been unused land. So I don't think your cafe was exactly there. it was called huckleberrys in the 90s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 248 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 That's it Huckleberry's, The railway man's house on the crossing had a spiral staircase in the early eighties, no idea if it was an original feature. Does anybody recall, the other side of the crossing, running parallel with the Greyhound kennels and the road from the crossing to Netherfied, in between there was a strip of road, old buses, caravans etc?

Cliff Ton 8,985 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 That road is still there with its abandoned cars and vans and buses. It's the old line of Colwick Road before the Loop Road was built. https://goo.gl/maps/3KUxymTzNJFh2uUT7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 248 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Safe to assume then, with the mention of hut's, Greenwood Rd end was never a mini golf course, an unnatural terrain, wonder if the debris was buried on site? On the extreme right, entering the woods i think there was a 'modern' generator, also a concrete base, AA gun emplacement? This is mid 70's... Must go, Curse of Oak island is starting..I like conclusive answers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
