.... 23 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sorry for your misfortune there, poohbear, that's a shocker. Went past the perennially flooded area at the Mansfield Road/Hucknall Road junction after midnight last night and there was a lot of water on across the road. The Grosvenor had sandbags up against the front door. Anyone remember when they had rowing boats out here across the road on a previous flooding some years ago?

Fynger 841 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Bit of bad flooding there Pooh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Remember The Grosvenor flooded one sunday afternoon prob 1970's following thunderstorm, managed to climb on windowsill and see tables floating in the lounge! Another time (earlier) recall Lincoln St under water, ditto parts of bulwell and back of Gerards soap factory where the old level crossing was, not sure if melting snow or prolonged rain, was before The Leen was ducted, bet a right "swell" on that back of gasworks etc this morning?

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Re the Grosvenor and flooding in the seventies...Used to have my lad on Sundays (Seperated) Took him in pushchair to Grosvenor to get myself a pint...no kids allowed in those days but I went in the lounge which was always dead on a Sunday.They had recently done the lounge up new carpets ...the lot. Laddo unfortunately emptied a packet of crisps on the new carpet which I cleaned up.The stuck up bar tart went on and on about it..."Crisps on the new carpet...disgusting." Anyway....shortly afterwards the heavens opened and the valley soon flooded.The Grosvenor was soon 2 feet deep in water and sewage I had to head for the stairs with the lad and stayed there until the level dropped some hours later. I took great pleasure in confronting the crappy barmaid and once again apologising profusely for the crisps on the carpet and assured her that when the sewage drained away I would hoover up where the crisps were dropped.Miserable cow wasn't amused. The Greebo's in the bar ripped off a downpipe and punted the skip out onto the road...where they got a bollocking from some firemen and punted it back in.They finished up wheeling their bikes up Hucknall Road a bit where they tipped their bikes upside down to drain the water out. Firemen had removed the grates off the drains to aid flow...Made our day to see a cyclist plodding through the water when his front wheel went into a drain hole...poor sod...funny though,he went straight over the handlebars.
