Certainly according to Picture the Past, and various old maps, that was its name. There was no "-ing" in it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manversboy 35 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 The photo looks a bit like my old primary school, Hogarth Junior on Carlton Road/Linnel Street. If so, it's now a Hindu temple. I went from Hogarth in about 1958-9 to Manvers Bilateral, I'm just wondering if Hogarth was called Manvers prior to the new Manvers being built in the early 50s on the old brickyard further up Carlton Road?

Cliff Ton 9,175 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 This is Hogarth and it's definitely a bit similar. But it seems to only have ever been called Hogarth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manversboy 35 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes, looks as though most of the building at the front has gone when you look on Google Earth. MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,562 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Drabmuloc St Ann's board school was an infant and junior school. I went about 51/52 left 57/58 went on to Sycamore schools for girls. Infant school head mistress was a Mrs Hayes and Junior school head master was a Mr Salt, the school was between Edwin St and Duncomb St. Your right the class rooms of the junior school did come off the hall, opposite the stage was a class room which was at mazzanine level this was the art room. At the front of the school which was on St Ann's Well road were stone steps each side of the entrance (very impressive) but in all the years I attended I never knew any one who had used the front entrance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drabmuloc 14 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 OMG! Cliff Ton's picture is definitely St Ann's Board School. I really must go on google earth, go back to.....er.....yesteryear, and check out the streets either side and then see if I can see the Cavendish pub next to Cavendish Street.........it's all coming back. There was a tri fronted grocery shop called Tetleys, their son Keith died quite young. There was a Bookies on Southampton Street run by Charlie Williams. I think my dad 'probably' paid his mortgage. And May1947 you are so right, I had forgot the front entrance. Keep the comments coming guys and gals! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drabmuloc 14 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi Mary1947! Just thought I would let you know.....treated myself to a set of Drakes Pride d-tec bowls this morning, had a roll up this afternoon (indoors obviously) and I surprised myself with their accuracy! Couple more roll ups and they will be ready for a league triples match on Wednesday afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drabmuloc 14 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just lost my first best mate, and, thus, my ties with dear old Nottingham are slowly, but surely, ebbing away. I will continue to monitor this site, but, I really don't hold out much hope for any further revelations as no body has come back acknowledging the existence of any of my youthful haunts which included the YMCA Jaze and Jive, the Dolphin pub in North Church Street, the Palais de Dance, Horne Brothers on Long Row, the shooting club underneath the Castle........the list is endless!

Jill Sparrow 8,781 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 #63 Sorry to hear of your loss, Drabmuloc. Don't give up on Nottstalgia. It can take a long time for certain topics to ring a bell or for a new member to pick them up. I'm sure someone will. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drabmuloc 14 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for that Jill and Benj, and, I will keep watching and posting from time to time. Hey Jill....I thought the 1945 referred to the year he was born! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the sympathy, but, that's life! Took my brother, who lives in Pinxton, for lunch at the Countryman Pub on Sunday, and, if you've not been there I can well recommend it. Best wishes to all until my next post.......Drab! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drabmuloc 14 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi all! Well another three months have gone by and no new postings....shame. Just booked the South of France for three weeks in June/July so looking forward to that. Outdoor bowling season has just begun (not looking forward to changeable weather!) so I hope I am as successful this season outdoors as I was indoors just gone. Sit here in the back garden, sometimes sunny and warm and sometime cloudy and cold, but, a glorious green all around! Went to the theatre last night and watched the Northern Ballet perform their new ballet Casanova. If you get the opportunity....don't miss it.....if you are into ballet that is! Out to dinner tonight so must get on and prepare. Night all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,562 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi Drabmuloc hope you have a good time in France but don't you know that your not allowed any holidays during bowling season (just jokeing) not sure of your age but in June they have over 55s bowls week at Skegness and almost every bowler you know will be there, the their are two other events one in Aug and then in Sept. Talking about the ballet tried very hard to get tickets for The Red Shoes had to go and see Nutcracker in stead was not brilliant but OK Do you ever go to the Opera's if not I can recommend it, don't worry if they don't sing in English as you have a TV screen so you can read what is being sung. Good Luck for your Bowling season, who do you play for? Answer when you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drabmuloc 14 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi Mary1947, ballet, opera, theatre in general, to include serious and light pieces including musicals. Spent many years visiting London theatres, living just 35 miles north of the capital, but now we go to Milton Keynes Theatre for two reasons - they have all the major performers there, and, it's only a twenty minute drive! Keep your eye's peeled for 'anything' by the Northern Ballet...we have never been disappointed! We are also very fortunate to have on the doorstep the Wavendon Theatre....a great musical experience! They have three or four concerts a week and we manage to get to around a dozen a year. I'm retired now and this gives me all the time in the world to enjoy everything in my own time.....golf, bowls, theatre, reading, gardening, site seeing, holidays, whatever! Don't travel too far to play bowls, bit like the golf, there are so many opportunities not too far from home. My biggest travel is to the south of France every year and that wonderful trip is not too far away. Just booked the tunnel and the hotels going down. We always stop at the same hotels and fortunately get the same rooms....so nothing disappoints! When we get down there we rent a villa about 35 miles inland from the coast and being perched on the side of a hill the views are wonderful. That's it for now.......got to buy my NowTV ticket for tomorrow's match!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thailandjohn 0 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi my name is John Snowden. I went to Manvers from 1965sih to 1969. My form teacher was Mr Cork. I also remember the trip to Interlaken Switzerland and have revisited twice in the past 15 years. Anyone have the strap off of Corky? I did, painful. He used to call it Tickle Toby. I also received the cane once. Im not a bad lad but used to talk and muck about abit. Mr Hollingsworth was the Headmaster and Mr Pearce the Deputy Head. Dr. Leightgeb used to try to teach us German but gave up after two years and we had extra maths lessons instead. My form was 1T2,to 5T2. CSE grade,In my final year we amalgamated with Pierrpont Girls school. That was good.........I remember Lance Wright who used to teach Geagraphy and Valerie Mumby who taught PE...Wow!!!

Goose Fair, cycle racing and Ray Booty, learning to drive on the parking area at the far end. Parties at the house almost at the top corner at the cemetery end. The girls school opposite.....oh so many very happy memories. Coffee at the Bambo coffee bar, harder stuff at the Dolphin in North Church Street, jazz and jive at the YMCA, jive and 'other things' at the Palais de dance, the Beatles at the Odeon.........why did I leave? The "Bamboo" was the first Coffee Bar I ever went to. Lots of good music and frothy coffee. The girlfriend at the time was so posh but gorgeous with long blonde hair and blue eyes.
