Happy Days

A Memory of Old Basford.

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.
