jonab 1,644 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Talking of Lowry, when I had a flat in Sneinton Hermitage, about 1971, my flatmate had a Lowry painting hidden under his bed for several weeks prior to taking it to the Midland Group Gallery. My flatmate's mother (a renowned artist herself) was a friend of Lowry and she had offered to loan her painting, a gift from the artist, as an exhibit. I've often thought since that time what would Lowry have thought of Sneinton Hermitage in 1971. It was the time of the UK census and we didn't receive any census forms as the assessors thought the building was condemned and uninhabited. I also wonder what No 13 is like now. I know it still exists - I've seen it on GSV. Has Sneinton been gentrified, I wonder? Does anyone live near there? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I remember all of those pubs. We didn't frequent them very much, preferring to go into town of an evening. I do recall one occasion, though. We went to, I think, the Jester and found it full of women and girls all wearing false beards and moustaches. This was very disconcerting. It was almost as though we'd stepped into a Fellini film set - or Hammer Horror. Never found out what it was all about - we left pronto! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Sadly, there will be few proper pubs left in England before long. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
