Chulla 4,946 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 A very nice photo. Good fashion - I like the coat. Head slightly to one side and wearing a hint of a wistful smile - almost Mona Lisa-ish. BUT WAIT. Is that one of those creepy 'children of the damned' mannequins in the background? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The factory was on Wollaton Street, (I think). He was a character, he would go for his fish supper at the chippie next to the White Horse late at night, his XJ12 parked outside. My wife was good friends with wife Muriel, she was a nice lady. Sadly both have passed on now. I remember Mr Barron quite well he also owned "Pompadour" wholesalers which used to be on Woolaton Street or the next one to it. When I was a junior hairstylist working at the top end of Canning Circus I often had to go there to fetch a tube of Koleston colour when we ran out. Later "Pomps" moved to Mount Street at Basford also they opened another "Pomps" at Derby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Jill What a great lot of photos you have posted. These, you and your family can look back on in many years to come. This is what I referred to in an early post about most of our photos are now on DVD's. It's not the same as having a photo in your hand, especially if it's your family it makes you feel much closer to them. Even when they are no longer with us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 #634 I have thousands of photos, Mary. Not only of my own family but other people's as well. I can't bear to see them destroyed. They are all over my house, the walls are covered by ancestors and I'm proud to say I know who they all are and something of their lives. Without them, I wouldn't be here! When you've spent decades researching them, you feel that you know them all personally! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 R/R, that photo captures beautifully the quiet calm and dignity of a typical Sunday morning in Hedderley Street in the early 50`s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just found these old photos of myself, taken around the mid-1950s. On the step of the house, Morris Terrace, Daybrook: I am at the topp and my younger brother is below: 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I love your little coats and caps - looked warm. One of our sons had a similar one to your brothers when he was 2, it was a soft green with a velvet collar.... I loved it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I've just re-read all of this topic and some of my photos are missing, so I'll repost some of them. this one is a school photo when I was about 5 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Margie: The coat with the velvetine collar was a hand-me-down. I think it was second-hand when I got it and then it was passed to my brother when I grew out of it. They bulit them to last in those days! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,326 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Here's one taken in 1951. Does anyone recognise the location? It must have been soemtwhere on the East coast because we only ever had day trips in those days. Location? East coast I think but where? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
