Holidays from the Past
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. Last edited: 14/04/2008 13:28 by Brenda Vanderwert |

 Nottingham, Pelham Street 1890 (ref: 22823) |
Samuel Page - Umbrella maker.
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. Posted: 11/05/2006 15:22 by J Hammond |

first show house A memory of Huntworth, Somerset 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 Posted: 25/07/2008 22:56 by Janine Toulson |

Year: 1940s
Goose Fair A memory of Hucknall, Nottinghamshire I remember going to the Goose Fair in Nottingham in the late 1940s and we used to stay with my Uncle Jim Bradbury in Hucknall. On the way back from one of these trips my dad bought some meal for the pigs (he and grandad had lots of them on an allotment), anyway it was late when we got back and Dad took it down the cellar, and unbeknown to Dad, Mum had saved coupons to get eggs and sugar and made a cake for my 2 brothers birthdays, well did he not plonk the meal down on top of this cake, I am sure they heard my mother back in Hucknall the way she raved at Dad. I would love to hear from anyone in Hucknall especially if you remember the Bradburys. Last edited: 28/07/2008 14:28 by Jean Bradbury |
