trevorthegasman 150 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I seem to remember the name 'Goodband', Andy. I can't picture him but he may have gone to Trent Bridge Senior Boys school when I was there. I can fill a couple of gaps here which may help ,my wife lived with her Grandma for a time(17-21) at Livingstone Terr and then Walker Terr(when I met her) and so knew Alan Goodband and John Crofts,Michael they were at school same time as us but you would have problems as they were in the "c" stream and are a rags to riches story. I believe they made a lot of money pulling down the "Medders" and then moved into the hotel game together with their wives,in fact when we returned to the UK 79/81 they owned the Manor Club in West Bridgford and we went there most Friday nights for a meal and the entertainment ,remember they had a nice Rolls Royce also...P.S. seem to remember John Crofts looked a little like you with blonde unruly hair.LOL....

There used to be a Malik family lived on Orange st, Cliftons on Bell Terrace, i could name quite a few off Bunbury st. Ashley, the club would have been on Wilford Crescent, some type of strip club late sixties. Mick will remember the name, mentioned on here before. (did you get my PM ) Den. Carousel Club ? I think you might have the wrong road, Wilford Crescent East and West is all residential houses with a couple of shops the former post office A Doctors surgery on it until you get up to where Pyatt Street is and the back end of the Bus Depot then The Meadows Boys Club and the Mundella centre with the paper factory opposite. I grew up there in 1970s Carousel Club was on Bunbury Street Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,871 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 The Carousel club was upstairs at the rear of 48 Wilford crescent East, the building is still there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
