sue robinson 2 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 we had the open fronted second hand shop by st saviors church 181 arkwright st. We had people who bought stuff at the beginning of the week then sold it back to us on a saturday. The only other shops ,I remember were the cafe opposte run by Harry ? and cumberland coaches I remember Louella as a pretty blonde girl. Ah happy days when we were young.

Limey 242 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I remember a motorcycle shop on the east side - memory says it was closer to Trent Bridge. They were one of the few places that stocked Vespa parts which is why I remember them. Have no idea what the name was! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone remembr the toy shop on Arkwright Street going towards town, before Bridgeway Hall,I think it was called Keivers?? [not sure how that's spelt] I think the guy who ran it was Jewish? It was the most fabulous shop, a real Treasure chest of every toy you could imagine. I also remember Juvels the bakery, over the road on the corner facing Fine Fare which was on the opposite corner. The jam doughnuts were my favourites,they were very greasy but delish. Caz i remember a toy shop that was full of the old triang and hornby trainsets! could it be the same one mg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 i remember a toy shop that was full of the old triang and hornby trainsets! could it be the same one mg Kievers was further down...the one you mention specialised in model trains...huge selection upstairs, it was a bit closer to the city. A real 'kid with nose pressed to the window' shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue robinson 2 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sue i remember your shop. My parents bought a setee from you. Was this Cafe on the corner of Agnes St? cant remember but across from us was a greengrocer on the corner and the cafe was next door to that. The shop next to us was a butchers shop on the corner of st saviors st. I reckon we furnished most of the houses in the meadows. We didnt live there but I loved being there sitting outside with a cup of tea and a fag ing to everyone. They were good days spent with good people who looked after each other.

denshaw 2,871 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Sue, opposite your shop would have been Days the Grocers on the corner of Kirkby St. There is a very good book called The Nottingham Meadows, with lots of pictures in. Think it's available at most book shops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing what you can get hold of down here Sue, Last year I picked up a copy of "Ow'd ya tight" from Redruth ! I'll also be looking into the books that Den mentioned here. (I see this ones is about the 70's Den. Anyone know of similar items from 60's,,, or maybe the 50's please ?)
