Is this the name of the ward? New Added Today
I did my nurse training at Pastures Hospital back in 1981, and I think the name of this ward was Ridgeway (but I may be wrong) - it was a rehabilitation ward then. Sadly, these wards are no longer there, but I have some great memories. Trisha Last edited: 03/12/2008 09:36 by Patricia Wallis |

Year: 1965
Mickleover Village 1955
In the photo of Mickleover Village 1955, things still hadn't changed by 1965 when my mum used to walk us to the village most days to buy food. I remember there was a shop keeper regularly standing in the doorway on the right of the photo. The shop to the left of that, with the bike outside was the Co op, which was the biggest food store in Mickleover back then - way before Hillards arrived (now Tesco's I think). Close by everyone will remember Oliver & Winspears Sweet Shop, where we all bought our milk chews, fruit salad chews and butterscotch after school. Last edited: 22/08/2008 15:10 by Patricia Wallis |

Year: 1948
A Schoolboy's Memories of The Invincibles A memory of Derby, Derbyshire In 1948 I was living in the Midland Hotel, owned by British Railways. My father was the manager. The highlight of that year was the triumphal tour of the Australian cricket team, The Invincibles, captained by Don Bradman. The team stayed at the hotel when they played Derbyshire and I met some of them. Of course, my father had the most contact and told some stories about their high jinks. At one private dinner, they de-trousered the Vice-Captain, Lindsey Hassett. They gave me tickets for the match, and I spent two days watching in the blazing hot sun of that memorable summer (it was about 93 degrees F). When leaving, they presented my father with a splendid loving cup made for the team by Crown Derby. There were very few made, just enough for the team and a few for presentations. Sadly, ours was broken years ago, but I saw one not long ago in the Bradman Museum in Bowral, NSW. At the end of the school holidays I returned to my boarding school with the usual regrets of freedom lost. But I had a great prize to show my friends: an official autograph sheet of every member of the team. I've still got somewhere. If only I could find it! Last edited: 20/06/2008 16:18 by Barry Mahony |

FRIENDS A memory of Repton, Derbyshire I j oined the Navy in 1947 along with one Ginger Cooper,who came from Repton. On visits to his home during leaves his family were very good to me,[ food and things]. His Dad worked at the School. Ginger claimed the Drum Major of the school band could toss the Mace over the Arch and catch it on the other side! Posted: 07/11/2007 16:12 by William Scriven |
