Mind you, by the year mentioned, they'd probably have left to live elsewhere? I lived in Netherfield until I was 8 and I totally agree with Catfan, that Netherfield is like a black and white picture. I suppose as a little girl I didn’t have any thoughts about the place but I remember my Mum saying (once we’d moved to Arnold) that she never felt well whilst living in Netherfield and she put it down to it being low lying. But yes, having driven through there many times over the years, it’s grim!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,872 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 There was an incident on Victoria rd near Caroline club, the bus was empty at the time on its way to a school run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Here's is the video of the 'recovery' operation. What actually happened to cause the crash is that a car driver doing something he shouldn't clipped the front wheel of the bus and ripped the steering wheel out of the drivers hand. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Parts of it filmed in Bulwell DDB ! The old Station House featured in it & my ex's mate had a small walk on part in the film ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Just Googled for more details on The Ragman's Daughter and given that it was filmed in 1972, there is a chance (albeit small) that my Dad could be driving the 21 as he was on that rota at the time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
