mick2me 3,033 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Can anyone remember 'The Nottingham Sleeper Company' Mid 60's was in the Crossing keepers old house at Colwick crossings? I think it might be a private house now, does anyone still live in it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 There was an inventor who lived there early 80's. I remember he was always in the EP with some crackpot invention or another (Although that is being rude , as his inventions always, IMMSC , were to benefit the disabled) Like a snooker cue with a pair of wheels attatched to the front for one arm snooker players!!
