Limey 242 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I have many happy memories of walking, riding my bicycle, motorcycle and driving in the area - the hill into Dale Abbey with the corner at the bottom was always huge excitement on a bicycle! There used to be an "old fashioned" pub in Stanton-by-Dale that sold Bass from a jug - wonderful! As kids we used to go to "Stoney Clouds" in Sandiacre - but the M1 put a stop to that. I guess I have no problem with the old Ironworks site being turned into housing, but why the heck would they want to build a new road - M1 access seems the perfect solution! I used to know the "back way" to Ilkeston that went right through the ironworks - at one point there was a long, narrow bridge you went under, almost like a tunnel - made for great sounds on my Triumph 500! Then there was that unique "Ironworks" smell - I guess I don't miss that! I had my share of "romantic encounters" in the area too - and no, they had nothing to do with sheep!

Val 11 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi Bip My e-mail went ok, perhaps you are right and he has closed it down, next it will be off U-tube. We haven't got much open land round here, Beeston, Chilwell, Toton and Long Eaton have all merged into one. Val Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Hatts 1 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 My email went through but I immediatly got a reply saying that my message had been forwarded to the appropriate dept as this Barry guy is not in charge of it. Maybe he resigned !laughing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
