mary1947 2,079 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 A big welcom Mrs B from us all, I'm sorry can not help all i remember is a dance school some where on Clumber St and shoe shops; shoe shops and more shoe shops. One more shop i remember is "MAYS" the jewellery shop. History (my mum had her engagement ring from there) things go around don't they as I also brought my engagement ring from there. I will rephase that (it was master who brought the ring) plus when mum had her ring year 1935 they gave you a china tea service with it. When i had my ring (a few years later) 1965 you were allso given a china tea service. I have mums but what happened to mine,? well thats another story, ps Was JJ shoes facing the Gingham kitchen?

It seems to have been at 32a Clumber Street, which would make it about where JD Sports is now...opposite McDonalds. https://goo.gl/maps/MmYHwvPtJHoAKvyG8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRS B 511 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 There’s some really interesting old photos on the Nottingham Live website of Clumber Street if you just google Clumber Street Nottingham. Including the jewellers who gave out free sets of china. As I recall, you used to have to go up a little alley to get to the Peppermill. MrsB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Jill must addmit can not remember Fords being near or around Clumber St. The only fords that i can remeber was on Broad St Nottm. The Dance school did it go on to be The Hippo night club. Going back to Gingham Kit, to-day going down Clumber St and were HSBC Bank is , was the Gingham kit along that road and facing it was a shoe shop at the time i remember it was JJ 's am i right.
