Gibbo 04 188 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello everyone. I'm a new member with an interest in the old buildings of Nottingham, Nottingham architects and general history, especially of the Lace Market area. I look forward to taking part in the forums. My all time favourite British film is " Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ". I can remember the tales my Dad told me of the time he worked at Raleigh, around the time the film was shot.
