I have the exact same memories! We lived at 93 Bevis Row facing the dog track but it was too low to see the races. Our family of Mum, Dad and four girls moved into the flat when it was brand new, having moved from Whites Lane on the Wybourn. We thought we were moving up in the world with central heating, waste disposal unit, balcony and a new cooker to boot! Perhaps some of you will remember me as a little girl as I am quite distinctive with third degree burns............?

Thanks Steve, The Brightside Foundry is the one off Green Lane. My Mum thinks the Morrison site was just waste ground within living memory. -

The old branch of TSB on Hatfield House Lane has had a change of use - now a loan/cheque clearing place/pawnshop. A sign of the 'financial' times! Lyn

In main building, turn right, enter Local Studies, bookshelves on left hand side of entrance - booklet "From Bailey to Bailey"; need a copy of Chapter 1 regarding original Barracks. They were fine about me copying it in 2002, about 10-12 pages (earlier than I thought and therefore misplaced for longer ... Grrrr). Many Thanks in advance. Needed for any meaningful discussion of Old Barracks/Whitehouse Lane. Willing to pay costs incurred. Richard.Brant@Gmail.com AND Richard.Brant@Amec.com Please use both addresses for best results. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RichardB - The Master of the really dull email address ...

About 30 years ago after a cold winters night out drinking with Stuart0742 at Hackenthorpe where he lived at the time the late No. 41 bus never turned up and I was faced with having to walk back to the Arbourthorne having consumed quite a large quantity of alcoholic liquid and therefore being in need of a public convenience or two. I found suitable public conveniences at Birley Spa Lane, Hackenthorpe Birley Moor Road, Frechville (near The Sherwood) Intake Bus Terminus Mansfield Road (between the Woodthorpe Arms and the shops) Manor Top (turn left onto Ridgeway Road at the top of Mansfield) I don't think any of these public toilets are still in use or in some cases even still standing today.

I well remember the excitement when we first started with the bendi's, Alec Lee who was head of the driving school at that time, was one of the driving school inspectors who actually drove one back from I think Dover, they were very advanced for that time, with a turbo twelve litre engine, one of the features that I have not seen mentioned on this post, was a fuel fired heating system which could be lit up in a morning to get the interior warm before going into service. The first attempt we had at reversing these at the driving school at Greenland, was an aquired art, getting used to the steering rear axle was certainly different. When they went into service on the clipper, the left turn from Castlegate into Haymarket could be a shock for any motorist in the offside lane alongside the bus, as the rear end used to swing out, many a minor shunt took place there. They also took one or two motorists by surprise at the speed at which they could get off the mark from lights etc, not what most car drivers at that time were used to from a bus. From an engineering point of view they were well in advance of what we were used to then, Leylands, Daimlers etc, and as one old driver remarked, from the same bloody firm that made u-boat engines!

I was the bus inspector in Campo Lane when the gas bus was on trial, it was actualy a Rolls Royce straight six petrol engine as used in the Humber scout car, converted to use gas. The greatest problem with this bus was it only had enough fuel to do two trips on the Herdings-Lodge Moor, but the acceleration from a standing start was like a sports car!

That's it! I remembered!!! The Tithe Barn Lane area of Woodhouse! Yaaay not so blonde after all! hehe

Mr Lamb has many mistakes in his 1996 edition, these are just a few. Page 238 Burton road at Hillsborough, should be Burton street. Page 223 Obourne street put as Osborne street[ Nether Edge] Page 173 Pack Horse Inn down as 2 West Bar. Black dot 69 put on Spring St/Workhouse Lane. Page 239 Yew Tree Loxley New Rd, down as Elm Tree Page 235 Montgomery Hotel, the black dot 21 suggesting it was situated in the middle of a block of terrace houses with an address 1 Montgomery Terrace Road. Surely being number one it would start at the end of the road and not in the middle of the block, He has placed the black dot exactly where our entry was to go up the yard to our back to back home. Page 157 The Sportsman should be number 48 not 59 on the map. Anyone who drank in there knows how you went from the Sportsman straight across the road to the back yard of the Vine number 62 on the map. The Sportsman was still open May 1965. Also I can't find the Dennison at all on the drawings, have I missed it? As for the Corner Pin at 23 Burlington Street, shouldn't it be on a corner? my relatives had a beerhouse at 23 Burlington St I never knew if it had a name.

The Oxford Picture Palace, Addy Street. - Situated at the junction of Addy St and Shipton Lane, the Oxford Palace opened on 12th December, 1913. Originally built as a Unitarian Chapel, the Palace utilised much of the original building, though the altar remained behind the projection screen. Architects Hickton and Farmer also designed the Electra Palace (later The News Theatre and the Classic) and the Cinema House Barkers Pool. Externally, the building boasted white stucco with an arched window above the entrance and leaded light windows. The entrance lounge boasted tapestry panels, a theme continued in the auditorium. The Palace had a capacity for 900 patrons and suffered damage during the blitz night of the 12th December 1940 but re-opened, after repairs, in time for Christmas of that year. The owners of the Palace, Heeley and Amalgamated, sold out to Star Cinemas in January 1955 who installed a much larger screen in preperation for the new films shot in the CinemaScope format. The Palace survived longer than many suburban cinemas, but finally closed on the 15th August, 1964.

Here's a picture of Fulwood Scouts on Parade at St George's Day 1950. Not quite sure where they are but there are some good clues of companies occupying the buildings to the left. I think it might be Trippet Lane looking towards Town.
