New to this site, have been looking for info on Belmont terrace in Mansfield,we used to live at 2 Belmont terrace before we moved onto West Hill Drive,while living there I used to help out at Pelidon eng after school I went to Brunts school and worked there cleaning push along lawn mowers,they were taken to bits I would clean the blades they would get sharpened and then I would paint them,it gave me money to afford my first motorbike,I also used to deliver the recorder and had a morning paper round and delivered the Chad on a Wednesday afternoon I think it was for Brights newsagents on the corner of West Hill Drive and leeming lane,this was demolished to make way for the ring road,we left and moved to West hill Drive around 1980.
There were also 2 car repair garages on Belmont terrace which lead down to clumber street at the side of the Cashade amusement arcade and Hamills electrical shop,there was also a carpark at the rear of the shops on clumber street which was the BSM carpark where we usd to play football for hours,lurchills alley way ran from woodhouse road to clumber street between West Hill Drive and Belmont Terrace,we were there while different stages of the clumber street car park were underway seeing the garden at no 1 Belmont terrace dissappear to make way for car parking,my friend from school lived in the Labour Club (changed to Boothys) I also helped out at the Mansfield Kawasaki motorbike shop at the bottom of West Hill Drive,I'm looking for old pics I know we have will post when I find them,it's great to remember those times.
