Harry Taylor 24 September 1929-April 16 2021..Our Dear Dad..
As a Family we felt that we couldn’t let Dads passing at 92, go by without a mention on the St Ann’s site.St Ann’s wasn’t apart of his life, it was the whole of it .. Dad was born on Hungerhill Road,and spent his younger years living on Dame Agnes Street. As a family we lived on Leicester Street.Never wanting to move far from their roots,they moved to Sneinton, looking out at the windmill for 49 years. He loved the St Ann’s Site,in awe at the technology! He had an amazing memory and took great delight in passing on answers to posted photos, who lived where from the big red 1956 Nottingham Directory, and enjoyed the many posts over the years . He was a wealth of knowledge on everything St Ann’s , and often said his counting sheep was starting at the bus terminus, walking down to Bath Street naming all the shops and streets, along the way, then cross over at the Locarno and do the same till he got to the Wessy !! Don’t know at what point he fell asleep! Dad went to Morley school , having passed for, I think it was Bluecoat School, but sadly they couldn’t afford the school uniform,so Morley it was. He was Captain of the Football team, and a life long Forest Fan . He was taught by a very young Miss Brown at Board School , who always remembered him,and said so when she taught us! He was a keen Gardener, having 3 allotments growing and showing his Chrysanthes.He loved watching darts and played for many years in the famed Robin Hood pub team . Mum at 93, like Dad was, is one of the few remaining oldest Sentys . Dad the story like your long life could go on,you had so many memories over a lifetime in St Ann’s,but this is your last post, and I’m the new owner of the big red book. ...Susan Carberry
