Title: Sherwood Lodge Bolsover. Photo Album.
Post by: Fly on January 21, 2013, 05:11:51 PM

Went for a walk earlier. Took a few snaps. The place won't be here next winter.
But we will have a Morrisons instead  :)
The pictures should be public on my photobucket account.

As with all my photo's, I claim copyright to them, but don't mind people sharing them,
as long as they give me credit for taking them ;)

How much of Sherwood lodge is going then?
I remember playing on the grass areas around the back and having a sit in the flower gardens..
Used to live on Oxcroft Lane in the early 90's moved 96 i think. But at the other end num 8 :)
The houses you took a shot of i remember my Grandma was contemplating buying the end one years ago but they decided against it in the end.
The council offices themselves i did work experience for in year 10 :) it was a lovely place inside with lots of friendly staff pity its going to go but glad that there will be a decent supermarket up there

Top left is the Flower/Peace Garden Square. All the rest is going.
I'm sorry if some Bolsover people have issues with this, me and Our_Lass spent about 20 minutes walking around there.
We never saw 1 other person. Not exactly a popular Boza area is it. Even the old band stand has gone.

As a kid just a big grassy area was enough to do alsorts. Remember knocking myself out on a tree in there once lol

The band stand is long gone Emma.
There's no events held there any longer.
Can you remember some of the Old English Fight Re-e-nactions. Swords shows, Blunderbuss, and other displays, ect ,they used to hold there.
Doubt you do. I don't think your old enough.

I don't remember no, depends how long ago it was longer than say 26 years ago there would be no chance, not that i ever remember my parents taking me to such things anyway.
I know it was knocked down eventually had some awful graffiti along with other unpleasantness...
