An old family photo. My Grandma Edith (nee Wilson) is the baby. She was born in May 1902, so this picture must probably date from 1903. According to her wedding certificate (1920) her home address at that time was 69 Brighton Street. The boys are Robert, Arthur, Fred. I don't know the young woman's name, but it all looks rather grand doesn't it? Edith married Harold Sleaford and they lived at several addresses around the city, ending up at 7 Ridding Terrace in 1940, their final home, where me and my sister would be born to their eldest son George in 1950 and 1951.
One from Ann’s Family “Biscuit Tin” Ann’s late Grandmother Mrs. Henrietta Kavanagh ex number 50 Union Rd. pic taken in her back garden 1956 shortly before she passed away...sadly I never met her. She suffered with terrible arthritis in her latter years, so she used to wrap her hands up in an old woollen scarf to try & keep them warm....and avoid the pain. She had twin daughters Alma (Ann’s late Mother) & Blanche who had two daughters June & Sandra.

This picture shows my grandfather, Walter Bakewell (furthest right, holding cigar!) celebrating his 21st birthday in 1910, when the family lived at 256 Woodborough Road. There seem to be shutters on the window - is that likely? I understand they stayed up all night and then played football.
I can't name the mates, but one of them is probably his lifelong friend Balaclava Valradio Morley, known as Rado. Rado's father was a professional soldier who named his sons after battles and generals. Rado and my grandfather attended Sycamore Road School together. ...I remember my grandfather saying that they were a merry crowd in the years before 1914. He served in the Army in France during WW1 and later worked in Army Records in Nottingham. ‘Rado’, although from a Nottingham family, was technically an American citizen and returned to the US following the outbreak of war. I’ve no idea what happened to the others.Trish Gurney

"Wonderful photo of my great grandparents John Herbert Clark and Ada Louisa (nee Stuchbury). They had five children and lived for many years at 13 Lavender Street. This photo is from around the 1940's. Mum and Dad lived with them for a while after getting married in 1955 before moving into their first home on Donkey Hill." .....Steve Clark
Geoff Jackson posted this image Oct 2014.....This is picture from a film clip that I've mentioned on here previously of Forest parading the FA Cup in 1959. I've watched it again today and realised that a bit of the film was taken on the junction of St Anns Well Road and Alfred Street Central with The Oliver Cromwell pub on the right with the bike shop behind the pub and the National Westminster Bank on the left. This bit in St Anns is at 27 seconds in to the film but only lasts for less than 3 seconds. There's a lot of St Anns people in this clip!
This is my Grandad, standing in the doorway of his shop, he was a respected businessman who enjoyed entertaining, he would sing to raise money for charity and aside of painting his love was music. My Dad Walter Wright and his brother Herbert Wright carried on the business for a number of years. the shop stood in Alfred Street Central in a group of shops a cobblers - Procters, A Butcher - don't know the name and a Green Grocers - don't know the name but I do remember playing in the shop when I was very young. When he took the shop over he was very young and the shop was a fish and chip shop, My mum aged 99yrs has a glass salt pot with a pot lid which was used on the counter of the chip shop
