Beekay 5,138 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Howdo Mary, I'm talking back in 1958. Had a look on Mr. Googles maps and "my goodness" the further education centre looks a Hell of a lot different from when I were there! Last time I went to the Byron was to see "Towering Inferno", with 'er indoors'. As a lad, I thought I were the bees knees when I got my first pay packet of £4. 6s. 5d. Did a virtual tour up toward the market place, Blimey! it all looks so different now from when I used to drive my lorry up to Newstead pit for coal to Ellesmere Port. I think I would get lost up 'Uckna " now. I'd have to ask Trogg to show me round. Was impressed though, when someone took me to the tram terminus. I'm waffling agen Mary. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 807 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi Mary just did the drive on google from Hucknall to Watnall village i have never seen so many traffic islands i was lost until i arrived at Linby i remember the Royal Oak and the Griffins Head at Papplewick. In 1964 i was in the Midland General Omnibus rally club we would meet at the G.H. and do some driving skills tests in the field at the side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay do you remember the chap who use to show the films at the Byron, the kids used to call him The Jolly Green Giant well he lives next to my son on Long Hill Rise. Going back again did you or any of your family go to Holgate Both my boys went and the youngest one's favourite teacher was Mr Beharold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Mary1947, In reply, I only ever w ent to the Byron 2 or 3 times. We didn't live up that way. We used to live on Upton drive, off Valley road, near Mansfield road end. Stayed there until 1977 and then moved to Snape Wood, Bulwell until 1987, when we moved down here for work. I assume by Holgate, you mean a school . In which case, no our kids never went there. Andrew, my eldest went to Aspley Wood school, Robins Wood road, off Aspley lane. Our youngest, Colin went to Shepherd school, Beechdale road, ( for physically and mentally disabled children). Colin passed away, Christmas 1978, age nine, at City hospital. Andrew died in my arms at Pembury hospital near Tunbridge Wells. He was 23yrs old. That was back in 1990. I believe Aspley Wood school is no longer there now, but not sure about the Shepherd school. Kindest regards, Barrie.x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,138 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks for that Stuart.C, I wonder if we are still life time vice presidents, after being made so when our son left school in 1983. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,079 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 For the lost members of Hucknall the Tower is or was near thwe oid RAF camp. Behind Westvill est which is on Watnal Rd facing Rolls Royce test beds which used to be, but now house's. Can anyone remember The Westvill Social club? l think that is what it was called. There is also a web site called "Hucknall Past and Present" if any one is interested. I think that Westvill social club was pulled down and the pub "Will Scartlet" was built on its spot.
