Betty and I were brought up in Davidson Street, Sneinton just before the Second World War. It was a small back-to-back terraced house with an outside toilet. One of my first recollections was being bathed in the small kitchen sink and the woman who lived next door talking to Mum. It was snowing. Later they made a snowman and put a... [more]

The Hornbuckle Family

On my grandmother's side, the Hornbuckle family dates back to this Church and this town from the early 1500's. So if you see any headstone's in the local cemetary saying HORNBUCKLE, "GAULTER OR WALTER", they are related to me.

He actually left his money to the Church for needed repairs and for something called MILN Brig....if anyone knows... [more]

Tithby or Tythby.

I used to live in the village of TYTHBY, spelled with a Y and not an I. I did not even know that there was another village close by with a similar name. But I have checked on the computer and there it is, not too far away in the general direction of Langar. But I do not think there ever... [more]

Cotgrave Memories

Our grandad George Boultby was a miner at Cotgrave. Because we didn't have a car, we had to go on the old type Barton buses. We would walk from the bus stop to our grandparents' house. They used to live in two different locations, the first I am not sure of the street/road name but it's from the main shopping area,... [more]

I was very friendly with their neighbours, and the one thing that really stuck in my mind was how... [more]

This was built around 1960 using a system known as CLASP (Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programmes). It consists of a light steel frame on a fixed module that was clad in solid panels or glass as required. The school has recently been... [more]

Nottinghamshire Living Memories

Main Street crosses Church Street, the A612, to become Station Road as far as the railway line, which runs between the village and the river. Beyond the still- functioning railway station, the lane reverts to its pre-railway name of Stoke Lane, and heads for the Trent between an avenue of fine Lombardy poplars. The hedge on the right has been replaced by a fence, but the poplars remain intact.
