I can remember when school broke up for Christmas holidays in the late fifty's & early sixty's. People would go Christmas shopping to Nottingham by train. in those days there was a regular hourly service from Spondon station. I also remember one year in the late 1950s, the children put on a Nativity play in the old corrugated iron hall, that stood in Stoney Lane, about where the bus stops now are, just before the cemetery, and Mrs Tunnicliff had lent them a small donkey from her riding school, for the stable.

i remember when we were first married (1968) we were stopping at my mother-in-laws at 6 kirkdale ave and vi had to phone the police at 0430 on a summers morning reporting that a donkey was outside of her back door ! All she got at first was the sergeant (after he had picked himself up off the floor laughing !)...........Mrs tunnicliffe's ......she used to keep donkeys and horses under the electricity pylons at the back !
