    I was born in Bulwell, Nottingham in the early 50s. Thank goodness my parents ( Mum -Teacher in Belgium, Dad - British Commando) both survived the war.

    Thank you so much for uploading this. I was born and raised in Sherwood, Nottingham (much later), but I find this period really fascinating. Interestingly, when I used to walk up Mansfield Road, I would see that shelter outside the house and wonder what it was. Now I know!

    I used to visit my uncle and aunt in Sherwood (Gunthorpe close) in the early sixties and have such lovely memories of the city and it's people, days at the Carrington lido and Metropole cinema especially.

    @@nilsalmquist9424 ahhh yes. Places I know. Gunthorpe close/drive wasn't far from where I grew up. I too went swimming at Carrington Lido with my siblings- but early 80s. I remember when it closed in 87.
