Zimbo 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Does anybody know the story of the burnt out looking house near the junction with Gedling Road? It has looked the same in the near 10 years I have lived in Arnold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy87notts 22 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 dont even know if its there anymore or not, i have to say i noticed it walking down there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RockitRon 2 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's still there and in exactly the same condition. There's no reference to it, other than that image, anywhere on the net, and the local council refuses to answer any query about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I used to go past there quite frequently in the early 90s and it was in that condition back then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Here's your answer. From my brother who is a member of the Arnold history gang: The Bungalow on rollo drive belongs to a bloke about 50ish. Been in the family for years. Has been in that condition for about 30 years. He lives in the tin tent ( cavaran ) at the side of the place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does your brother attend the Arnold history talks Compo? I was thinking of going along one time. I saw one advertised to be held at the Labour Club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 He does. One of the senior archivists is (or was, not sure if he is still alive) Bill Spick. I used to play with his son and daughter when young. He owns copyright too loads of old Arnold photos. If you want some gen ask my brother (Peter) and tell him I (Paul) sent you: XXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXXXX.blot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks very much Compo, very interesting. I have heard of Bill Spick. It's something I've been thinking of getting into a while. Have taken Peter's email addy thanks. Maybe would be a good idea to take it down off here as you don't know who is dropping by. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,326 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
