Beefsteak 305 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I can confirm that the Savoy is still going (I went past on my way to the hospital on Monday and forgot to post ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 That house, corner of Derby Road and Lenton Blvd, in the 70's was quite a plush residence. It had a swimming pool and lots of girls. I think the guy ran some kind of entertainment agency? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Mr Terry Reid also known as Ziggy he used it think he looked like Rod Stewart drove around in that great big yank open top car . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Was he in the music business? I do remember an american car, now come to think of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Think you was closer with the entertainment agency , i know he lived with 2 girls !!!! One was a stripper stage name Pepper , can't remember the others name but it could have been salt ? He did have a go @ stand up comedy using most of Barry St.Ives material who was also his mate , i believe he lasted 2 to 3 minutes @ his one & only gig @ The Variety Club . He would have been better doing a double act with his 2 chicks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 There was a girl who lived on Glapton road near Ferriby Terrace, the Meadows, who had some involvement, but the name escapes me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidL 5 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Certainly remember those houses Radfordred. In the 40's and 50's they were desirable residences in good nick. Used to pass them every day going to Cottesmore school. Is that the Savoy in the background? Cheers all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 The other one was the "Cozy" just near the Midland station in Netherfield. If I remember rightly their screen was about the size of our front window.Happy daze!!! Dave I've never heard of the Cozy in Netherfield. Whereabouts was it exactly?

Beefsteak 305 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I think it was where Fords/Mace/ Lloyds TSB,were built Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I've never heard of the Cozy in Netherfield. Whereabouts was it exactly? It was down a road just to the left of the Midland Station. Across the road from it was a garage. It was sort of hole in the wall type of place hardly visible from Victoria road but only a stonesthrow from it. If I remember rightly it became a warehouse of some type.

loppylugs 8,427 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It's still there! Here is a pic of the outside. That's it Bamber. The entrance was just behind the vehicle in your photo. The place sure looks run down now, looked a lot better in the late 50s when I went there. Can't remember how many it might have seated but certainly not many.

bamber 128 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 A couple more. I ain't no David Bailey. Even more compact and bijou than the Smallest Show on Earth. A lady in Carlton Library told me that if you wanted to sit in the Cozy's balcony you paid for your ticket; went back outside and round the corner to another door. I have to go into Nottingham City Library tomorrow. I'll see if I can find anything else of interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Often wondered what happened to all the old projectors out of those places. Could hardly have been sold for home use. I assume they were just sent out for scrap.

It must be the oldest cinema building in Nottingham [sic] that is still standing. Unfortunately the local studies library was flooded recently and is closed until further notice, but this has tickled my interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
