In the 70's me and my mates used to frequent the Old Dutch establishment and some of us, including me, even worked there - as table clearers and washer uppers.
Does anyone remember this place that was located on Thurland Street - opposite the NatWest bank I think it was.
And did anyone by any chance ever take a photo of the place? -

Who remembers the Flying Horse pub?
How on earth could they allow its destruction. More crimes of the 1970 Planners.
I remember the glass panel in the bar floor where you could see the cellars
below.
When did it finish trading as a pub?
What do you remember about the place -

Hi,
I hope you can help, I just wish to post a comment in the hope that people may have any photo's of my dad that passed away a number of years back. Ian Lovely (Lugs) worked at Warsop Main for a number of years so I am reaching out to anyone who happened to be a mate of his. As I've got very limited photo's of him I'd be interested to look at any that people may have... I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try.Many thanks in advance.Regards,
-

I went to Warsop Vale school in 1969, having moved to Sookholme for a short while with my parents. I have very fond memories of the school and my teacher, Mrs. Ledbeater/Ledbetter was wonderful. At the time they taught a very strange method of spelling that was based on phonetics (I imagine it was short-lived) and so, at the age of eight, my spelling was atrocious! I clearly remember the segregated playground with the boys on one side and the girls on the other, and the fantastic Christmas party in the school hall with a magician, party food and presents. My parets moved us to Clowne on Christmas Eve of 1969 and I cried because I didn't want to leave the school or the wonderful rural playground that had been mine for that one short summer.
I have lived in the USA for the past thirty years but today I visited my parents and decided to take a nostalgic drive around my old hunting ground. Very sad to see the old school derelict and draped with vines but happy that Sookholme has become somewhat gentrified with our old tithe cottage now a Koi Carp centre!
I would love to hear from anyone who was at the school in 1969 and with whom I might have enjoyed those happy memories. And if anyone has any photos from that period, please post them! -
