Beggars belief that it's a woman !
-
Wheres that waz,we never saw places like that as kids except in the films Kinell ! Did you get your butler to post that for you, mate ? I kid you not, it was a council house. My family moved out of North London to an overspill council estate then to this drum, somehow they blagged it! The back garden was massive, was a nice area, the council estate we moved from was rough and still is apparently. It all became part of Milton Keynes. Hate the place, all glass steel and concrete but where I grew up was an old town, neighbouring houses had thatches and tudor beams etc. Countryside

Wrong in every way I can think of ! Prescription ? I'd prescribe a f***ing good kicking !
-
Merlin archery? And the only good thing to come out of Nottingham is the A52 to Derby, lol. Don't start on that Derby 5hit again......

Rez !?! I think we've scared him off, lads......

Getting kicked out of the house at 10am, during the school holidays.......no consoles or computers. No mobile phones to check up on you. "Your tea's at 4 - don't be late !" (You had to hope one of your mates had a watch !)
-
That's a sobering story mate. I guess not every memory is a happy one.......sad story.

Cut mine back, a couple of weeks ago....

Not surprised no one went in looking like that.... It did look a little grander, in its heyday - but not much ! Me and my sister sent many afternoons in the back yard of the Duke.....bottle of pop and two straws. No kids allowed inside.....none of this "family pub" nonsense you get these days. Smoky rooms, Shipstones beer (Gold Label barley wine for the ladies) and darts was the order of the day ! Lifes a funny old thing when we left the garths we got a house,with a garden in the slummiest street in the worst part of town garden walls were knocked down,fences were burnt during the m

f**k me,you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth,that house looks like a mansion. Looks can be deceptive, Mackem ! I think that must be a modern pic......we had an outside toilet and no bathroom til around 1974 !
-
You've given me an idea, mate ! Put these on the "Where I grew up" thread, please ?
-
And the high rise flats at Basford crossing, now demolished
-
My late dad's favourite haunt, now derelict sadly......
-
A couple of lads have put up pictures of their old neighbourhoods, on another thread, but I think a topic like that deserves a thread of its own....... I'll start -this is Bailey Street in Basford, Nottingham. Weirdly, I think our old house is the one with brown door !
-
You used to go to the Horse and Jockey too, then ? As far as Mansfield goes, I will offer just one thought.......Ravensdale !
-
Ooh, you've done it now, Jo ! See what happens when you rile the Midlands lads......for god's sake, nobody mention Loughborough !
-
I lived in Mansfield Wood'us for a while - advanced levels of shitholery......not much between that and Derby !

i cant see that,,, Me neither ! When I was a lad, Aspley was comparatively middle class ! Just to put "middle class" into perspective...... As a boy, we visited my mum's parents every Saturday without fail. After I'd helped grandma do the shopping, mum would take me and my sister up to Noel Street Baths - but not for swimming ! For a small fee, they had private cubicles, where you could have a bath, a proper bath, with scolding hot water........we had an outside toilet and a tin bath until I was 11 or 12 years old ! They don't know they're born these days ! I've always thought it to

I don't think we've ever met, but you describe me perfectly ! Uncanny !
