When we Came Here
When our family, consisting of myself, Jean Pauline Smith, my mother who has since passed away (also called Jean, but her middle name is Audrey), and my sister and brother came to Bulwell, we came from the famous or infamous Balloon Wood flats, in Wollaton. We were given a three bedroom house on Hornbeam Gardens, Snapewood. It was a cold September when we looked around and going into the back bedroom, I saw the cemetery beyond. I was mortified, having only been at work for a year, I now didn't want to live so close to a graveyard. But since then I have marvelled at it. Our garden transformed from a mud hole with three layers into a lower patio area with a raised rockery. My mum started to collect a wide range of plants and her pride and joy were the heathers and oxalis/shamrocks. As I got older I contributed to the garden and we started to look at the wildlife that inhabited the cemetary and the gardens around... Read more
Growing up
I grew up in Awsworth from 1959 and left in 1986 to live nearby in Eastwood. I attended both schools as a child, all my 4 children were baptised in the local church, I played football for all the teams in Awsworth, in fact I and a friend formed the Sunday League side, Awsworth 77 as it was originally known. I still believe it runs to this day. I served on the parish council for a while, I did'nt intend to delve into local politics, I only went to get the permission of the usage of the rec's football ground at the annual general meeting. I resided at no 32 The Glebe until 1978 when I married and moved to Park Hill. I remember growing up in Awsworth where there was plenty of countryside to explore, Babbington woods, up Cossall and many more.
Fond Memories, Happy Days
I was born at 44 Main Street, better known as Music Row, in 1943 and moved to Kimberley in 1958. I have many fond memories of living there, huge bonfires on the "donkey piece", making "winter warmers" out of a tin with holes in and coal. Scrumping in Mr Wardle's orchard, it was also he who also recharged our accumulators up for our radio. Everyone had "gadda's" or made bows and arrows. No TV or playstations in those days. Grazed knees were the order of the day, and mother's spit cured all sorts of cuts and bruises, and kept hair tidy. Food was on ration with not much money around, and many a time I had cardboard in my shoes, as the soles of my shoes had holes in them, not much good when it rained though. Mr Winterbottom ruled the junior school with a rod of iron, and woe betide you if you couldn't recite your times table straight off. We had lots of fun swimming in the "cut" and making... Read more
Happy Days
Although I was only a boy. Me and my two brothers went Percy Street School. Mrs Evans was the teacher I remember very well. We lived on Davids Square. We had many happy hours at the Vernon picture house, the old flea pit. Also on Billy Bacon's Field, Vernon Park and watching old Basford United, and making a lot of a nuisance to older people. I remember some families, the Walkers, Coopers, Browns, Bolshaws, Jordons. I will always cherish childhood. I am 65 now, I pass Basford quite regularly, Old Lincoln Street is that's left, sadly.
Vernon Park Area
I was born at Cheltenham Street at home, my mum and dad were George and Margaret Fisher. Across the road lived my grandad Reg Jenkins. My great grandad lived in Bell Terrace, bless him, he served in the First World War, I can remember him quite clearly even though he died when I was 3. The Turner family lived in Bell Terrace too, there were seven of them in one tiny house, they were a lovely family and we still see eachother. My best friend was Tina who also lived on Cheltenham Street. We had some great times, going to Vernon Park and the fair on Basford Waites, also exploring some caves that were near the botton of Park Lane. We used to mess about in the high rise flats across the crossing, and also go paddling in the River Leen. My aunt used to take me to a shop on Lincoln Street that sold everything, she used to buy my cousins and me a toy each every Saturday. Then... Read more

The Good Times
I lived in Westgate then moved to Wicklow Street. I remember the floods on Lincoln Street in 1947, we had to go in little rowing boats. I was in Mrs Evans's class at Percy Street School. After Goose Fair we had on on Billy Bacon's field near the post office, the lady working there was called Mary. It was a great place to live. I left in 1965.
