EileenH 496 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Morning, I`m quite new here myself but now I pop in every morning to have a bit of a read and sometimes a bit of a post. Where are you from? I`m originally from the Medders myself but am now exiled along the A52. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gra.b 0 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks for the replies. Eileen, I live at Berry Hill Mansfield now, moved here into a bungalow due to the wife’s health. I grew up on the Bestwood Estate til I was 18, it was like being in the country during the 50s & early 60s before they built Rise Park, Top Valley etc. I drove past my old haunts a few years ago, it bloody depressed me to see it then, I hear it’s even worse now. I lived on the A52 myself for a while ; opposite direction to you though, West Bridgford/Gamston. Spent a short time in the Medders , Essex Street, not the happiest period though. Then 20 years in Carlton, was sorry to leave there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
