OC the building was at the top of Ashgate Road. It was part of Manor School until reorganisation in the 90's when it became part of Brookfield for a short time then as Slacker says it became Manor College. The Avondale Rd team of doctors bought it to build their new surgery. There was a bit of a protest but it has now been demolished and the docs will get a new surgery. I would have loved to see them keep the old building, it had a large central hall with the classrooms surrounding it. Seemed a perfect layout for waiting room and lots of consulting rooms to me. Pity.

Thanks Fly. I think the ladies are probably right. Will you mention the graffiti please?

You're right guys. Of course it wont be the councils responsibility. Looks like its me and a bottle of bleach then!

How often does this happen?

A friend of mine, a gentleman in his seventies, is interested in creating a web site to publish some of his extensive local research. He is pretty with it having just written and published a book but needs some advice on the technical stuff. Any ideas where he could start? Any help much appreciated.

Carp I think, also bream, roach, probably tench. I'm pretty sure you can fish it on a day ticket, you don't need to be a member, which is usually cheaper. If you get it touch with a local angling shop they will be able to tell you exactly how much.
Thanks for the welcome

Hi everyone
I'm a newbie and already after info!
I am trying to find information on pubs (dead or alive) in the Stonegravels area ie Sheffield Rd / Newbold Rd and surrounding area for our local history group. If anyone has any memories, stories, or photos that they would be willing to share then I would love to hear from you.

Many thanks
