TBI 2,351 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Cheers Cliff, glad it's not just me then. As the search on the home-page bar only shows recent additions/changes, I never use that. The map search 'show thumbnails' doesn't show all the images available much of the time, if at all. The ' start your search ' box is my first course and mostly works, but sometimes won't produce any results, or very few. Maybe it depends on the level of PTP site usage at any given time or it's just me, I don't know. In fact, using it now to get anything for The Meadows/Arkwright St is hopeless so I've given up for the moment. I was just trying to pinpoint the other A-Cold. I can't remember if it was up by Andy Bones or back the other way nearly opposite St Saviours St. Or if I'm having a senior moment, which is quite possible. Edit: searching by subject within tools is now giving hits, hurray. But now my right-click won't work to save any images grrr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robbie 39 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I could be totally wrong here but when A-Cold became a more established company didn't they have premises back in the 70's either on Bellar Gate or Belward Street? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Icarus 5 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Around 1969/1970 I ran a second hand book & record shop on Arkwright Street called "Moonshine". It was so phenomenonally successful that no-one on the planet apart from myself now remembers it. When Brian Selby (Selectadisc) got involved in the business of bootlegging American soul records and putting them out on his various labels (Green Light, etc) my friend, the late and very much lamented Nottingham DJ Derek Allen, wrote a letter to a soul music magazine denouncing him for it. Wisely, he hid behind the pseudonym "Angry Soul Brother D". Unfortunately, "D" also happens to be my own initial, and since my shop was only a short walk down the street from his Selby immediately assumed that I was the writer. On the day the letter was published he burst through my door and demanded, in a tone of voice that betrayed some irritation, to engage in conversation with "Angry Soul Brother D". Eventually he left without wishing me a Merry Christmas. Ah, happy times... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Anyone remember the Fownes family? They were originally from Mansfield, they ran a pub near the steps to the railway.. Circa '70-'71. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 #406 Icarus I used to spend all my pocket money on records at your shop and Selectadisc tho sorry I don't recall the name My rogue brother used to sell my records to Selby and then I would buy them back again! I used to know which were mine as I always wrote my name on the label 'Cass' but using the German double S that looked liked a B with a tail. I had forgotten all about that until I just read your post!! It was quite near the Bridgeway Hall - is that still there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 What planet are you on Ian? you are lucky to get a shop on these new estates let alone a pub. There is a tram stop near where The Cremorne used to be there is a small apartment there now The nearest pub? The Ferry Inn Wilford just over the toll bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 An average photo of Arkwright Street - at the junction with Cromford Street - in 1973. But the sign on the wall caught my attention. You can borrow £1 for 5 pence monthly. Even in 1973 surely that was a bit extreme. The first pay-day loan. Proto-Wonga.
