My grandparents (now deceased) owned the first show house on the Clifton Estate. They had a picture with the mayor at the time which we have somewhere. The house was on Farnborough Road. I think it was 1951 or thereabouts.
I lived at Southchurch Court in the early 1970s then Conifer Crescent for a year before moving to West Bridgford in 1975.
Clifton is ok! J

I have so many happy memories Of Nottingham. My parents would take me to visit an aunt & uncle there in the early 50s. My aunt lived in Ratcliffe, my uncle had the Ratcliffe Golf Club and they lived on the premises. I was very friendly with their neighbours, and the one thing that really stuck in my mind was how beautiful Mr & Mrs Kettlebank's garden was, the array of flowers and the perfume from them was so beautiful. When my aunt & uncle left Ratcliffe they went to live in Hucknall and I remember staying with them on vacation and my Aunt Paddy taught me to do embrodery. Many happy memories too of visiting Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.

This photo shows my great grandfather's shop, nearly opposite the one owned by Jesse Boot. The shop has (on the left hand side of the photo) the name S. Page (Samuel Page) just above the wooden statue of Jonas Hanway holding an umbrella and the name of the shop was Hanway House; Samuel Page being an Umbrella Manufacturer and Dealer in Ladies and Gentlemen's waterproofs and all kinds of Travelling Requisites. Jonas Hanway brought the umbrella to this country from China and Japan. He was laughed at for carrying such an item as it was considered effeminate. Samuel Page was a noted umbrella maker because of the excellent quality of the silk that he used in their manufacture. He registered the name Jonas Hanway and the name 'Hanway' is found engraved in gold letters inside each umbrella.

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, through the garages at the back and across the road. It was a nice house with a hot kitchen and a old-fashioned pantry. In the summer we would play in the large garden. Grandad would grow a few vegetables. I can remember collecting ladybirds from the hedge. In the other place, it was on Forest Road, a bungalow, I think number 4 but I'm not sure. When we went there Grandad would take us to look at the farm animals in the village and the fields. He would point out the pit heads and tell us what they were for. I also remember the journey home. We would all cram in grandad's old car. There was grandmother in front and my mother, brother, sister and me in the back. There were no seatbelts, or we never used them then. We always were tired after the long day. Our grandad will never be forgotten. If anybody remembers a George Boultby from the late 1960s and early 1970s who was in the miners' welfare club and died in 1979, please get in touch. We are trying to get his working life traced.
