littlebro 234 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Old town hall, Stockhill? Looks like the 3 Basford bears on the shield Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well done littlebro. !! It's Rock House on the corner of Stockhill Lane and Bagnall Road. It was the HQ of the former Basford Rural District Council - an authority which covered places as diverse as Brinsley, Sutton Bonnington, Toton, Newstead Village and Burton Joyce.

littlebro 234 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Basford RDC merged with Beeston and Stapleford UDC & Eastwood to become Broxtowe Borough in 1974. Rock House was for a short time the housing HQ. The first Broxtowe CEO was Albert Hodder from Basford RDC. Also from Basford was Jim Shanaghan as Dir of Housing and John Saxton as Dir of Finance. John later moved to be CEO of Rushcliffe. I will try and come up with a replacement puzzle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
