Editorial It is difficult to believe that a year has 21assed since I wrote the first fevr notes

to launch the "Nettleham News". In the past year issues ':!e have had a vride v2riety of

articles v1hich one is led to believe has interested a lot of -peo:>le. \ve hope to continue

the interest but a much needed th.R"'J<: y01l S'""S +.n th� ::>dvertisP.:rs for making; it all

possible, most have stopped \vith us for the next year, and \dth a fevT nevl corners the

outlook is good financially. Nurse Heath has asked me to thank all those neon le \·lho have taken an interest in her

welfare via cards, messages, IJhone calls etc. Sh� c�n't rep1y to them all at personal

level but offers a big TKI\.lJK YOU through this medium. G.F. CLAHKE

Parish COuncil 54 Brookfield Avenue Nettleham Lincoln 752407

Imagine how we'd all feel about the death of a child in a traffic accident on that hazardous stretch of narroH roadway outside the Junior School ! Each weekday afternoon, inexperienced youngsters are put in peril there, from parents' cars :;::>arked densely for some distance on either side of the school entrance. The appointment of a new School Crossing Supervisor - a Lollipop Person - is avraited as a matter of urgency. Heamrhile, sudden unsupervised crossing of the road from bet\·reen these cars, and into the :path of heavy vehicles with considerable braking distance, could mean death for a child - maybe yours • • • • • •

Please ensure that 'this could never happen here, in liiettleham. If you 1'-'!UST park, please do so well avray from this stretch of hill Hill/High Street - or, better still if you live in the village, please leave your car at home.

El:fforts are being made to appoint a supervisor for children using this dangerous crossing. Anyone Hho \'lOUld like to be considered for the rosi.ti0n, shnuld a.p::::>ly to Police Traffic Inspector Hard at, 'Jest Parade Police Hea.dc.!_'Jarters, Lincoln, telephone 29911, extension 273.

* Whenever possible, the Parish Council intends to invoke the nevl \•! .L.D.C. by-lavT relating to dog fouling of footpaths and High\vay verges. ?lease caution your dog. * Completion is expected at the end of }arch, on the Parish Council's purchase of 4.027 acres of land adjacent to Hulsanne Park Suortsfield, at a r.ost of £8,860. In time, this v<ill make possible a much needed extension to the hard-pressed car park, and nossibly replacement tennis courts, to enable players to enjoy Pavilion and Club facilities. * A committee has been set up, to consider providing a suitable illustrated sign drawing attention to the site of Nettleham's unique Medieval Bishop's Palace. * There 1 s hope yet for residents vlhose homes in Cross Street/Chapel Lane get flooded during exceptionally heavy rain. The Divisional Surveyor is seeking a solution! * Parish Council Christmas Tree '83 lighting bill came to £35.64. * \-fork on the Nettleham Relief Road, due to begin about now, Should be completed by Christmas 184, in advance of the completion of the Lincoln By--pass. * T'ne Annual .Parish Heeting ta..l<:es place in the Sports Pavilion, hulsanne Park on 1tlednesday evening, 4th April at 7. 30pm. Residents are requested to attend this, and are welcome to meet members of the Police Drug Squad, Hho Hill address them. * 'l'he Annua.l meeting of the Parish Council takes place on 'l'hursday, 3rd Flay, 7. 30pm. * Help us to keep your fieldpaths� \'Talk them regularly and keep fit vli th us!

PARISH SHOPPII-lG BAS1,.:c;T.

'di th current restraints in mi;nd, Parish Councillors met in January, to fix the Annual Precept or ..:;stimates on essential services to the village, fer the coming year. Total ex�enditure anticiyated on these, amounts to £13,520.

Some tips for caravanners

The caravan should be no more than 75% of the kerbside weight of the car. The nose weight limit near 120 lb ( coupled) Spring assisters are equally as good

as a stabaliser. When levelling up and you have no spirit level, u�e a cup of water. A caravan

fridge on average uses 1lb of gas per day, a heater 1� l�s. For getting out of mud use high gear, low revs.

If running hot while towing cog down, kee?revs up and road speed down, labouring in high gear tends towards overheating.

In YoUr Garden. Now·

CA..llli OF POT ?LAl-Yi'S

Now is the time �o encourage house �Jlants into full growth as the vJeather and light improves.

With a pointed stick loosen, remove the top inch of soil from conta.iners taking care not to damage plants or roots, top u:p vTi th a good potting medium.

Any !)lant that has become :r,>ot bound should be repotted into a size larger pot ta..ldng care to firm round old roots.

To encourage new growth commence watering in moderation. There are now available both tsblets and spikes containing the foods necessary to

keep plants in good health, these are inserted one or two to a pot depending on size. The spikes contain a medium which comtats 111hi te fly, greenfly .and most pests which

attack house plants, these are inserted as previously stated and 111ill give protection for up to two months 111hen they need reviving. ,

Continue to tidy up flower borders removing any dead foilage, leaves etc. A top dressing of bone meal or general fertilizer gently raked into beds no,.1 will

greatly improve the show of flm.,rers later on. Check Begonia Corms, Dahlia ��bers, they can be started into growth by placing in

boxes con-taining moist peat and standing 1;hem in a \-.rarm place. Continue taking Chrysanthemum cuttings. Start sowing annual flovrer seeds to obtain plants for bedding out in Nay. A good

supply of composts, fertilizers, plant pots, trays and hanging baskets are now available from the Garden Association Rut open every Saturday 10.00am - 12.00 noon at very reasonable prices. 1ilhy not join and enjoy the benefits membership can bring.

VEGI!.'TABLES March ---

Before so,.ring or planting, divide your vegetable plot into 3 parts, Roots, Green, Pods, avoid using the same grou:p of vegetable in the same position as last year. Reasons being l. Stop pest build up 2. Different vegetables require more selected nutrients:--Roots - Phosphate. Greens - JH trogen. Pods - Potash.

Now you have done this you can start by .�pwing und�_r _ _gl9_�h_e_s_ - Carrots, Cauliflowers, Leeks, Lettuce and Celery. Sow with heat- To��toes and Peuuers. �ow

- i.n_ .Ou �� - Beetroot, Broad B��ns, Spro·u t s , Summer Cabbages, Carrots , Kale s, Lettuce, Onions, Parsnips, ParslBy, Peas, Spinach, !Urnips. It depends on the weather, do not even try to sow if soil is cold and ,.,et, the seeds \'Till not germinate, only rot.

March ROSES. r�x�� is the best month for pruning Roses. Hybrid Tea Roses Cut out d&a d, diseased or dama.ged wood (= 3 D 's) Prune strong stems back approximately one third of th'eir length. Pruning cuts are alvrays made to an eye, usually an outward facing one. ·The cut should be on a moderate slant, with the eye· on the higher side. Floribunda and Standard Roses Cut out 3 D's. Prune approximately half of their length, any twiggy side shoots trim back to main stem. Climbers Having removed the 3 D's, shorten side shoots to a point where they can bear another good side shoot approximately 2" - 8" from the main stem. If the side shoot is weak, trim back to main shoot, if the side shoot is long and strong consider whether it can be tied in and treated in future as a main shoot. Shrub Roses Carry out 3 D'S. }hny old fashioned shrub Roses only flower on last years wood so the long shoots (new) should be left about half or two thirds of their. length.

Start feeding your Roses in April using farmyaxd manure, Growmore, or Rose plus.

Continue planting deciduous �rees and Shrubs. Firm all newly planted trees, shrubs and Roses that have been,loosened by the vTeather or Frost.

Cut back hard all shrubs that flower on this seasons growth i.e. Buddleia. Remove all, but a fevr inches of last years shoots. Any shrubs grown for bark effect i.e. Cornus Sibirica, the willows should be pruned

hard back this month. Never prune in frosty weather.

CLEI•1ATIS Jviarch is the time of year when Clematis should receive their final pruning, before

new growth s·carts during late Narch and early April. Clematis are mostly known in 3 types or groups. Group 1 _The small flowered type i.e. Montana.

Cut back hard the first year, then the following year prune after flowering to suit your framework. Grou�_g_ includes all early-flowering large hybrids i.e. Nelly Hoser double VyY"Jan Pennell.

Cut back hard the first year and the follm>�ing years, in 1'1arch tidy up in shape and always cut back to a heal thy leaf axil bud, ivhich should be sHelline; into grm>�th by now. Group � This group forms the late large flowered hybrids, including the famous Clematis Jackmanii, Lady Betty Balfour. This group can be cut back hard, and lovr as they flmver on the current seaso ns growth.

April_ Spray Blackcurrants against gall mite (bie; bud) just before flowers 09en. Continue spraying Gooseberries against mildew (Gooseberries can be pruned this month) . Spray Peaches and Hectarines at petal fall to kill red spider mite. Spray fruit crops ivi th liquid derris, liquid l'Jalathion or a systemic insecticide to

control aphids and other pests. Never apply chemical sprays when flowers are open or pollinating insects io!ill be

killed.

IRGLISR? THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

A Few o� its Peculiarities

We'll begin with box: the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, no� oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese; Yet the plural of mouse:should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice; But the plural Bf house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

The cow in the plural may be called cows or kine, But a bow if repeated is never called bine, And the plural of vow is vows, not vine.

7

If I speak of a foot and you show me two feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and the whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?

If the singular 1 s this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss ever be keese? Then one may. be that and two would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose And the plural of cat is cats, � cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis.and shim!

So the English, I think you will agree, Is· the funniest language you ever did see.

Mulsanne Ne:ttleham twinning Committee

In August 1983 I had the pleasure of leading the bi-annual exchange to Nulsanne. 1he group consisted of 18 youngs�ers from the age of 6 years to 18 years old, and 10 adults ( ages to be kept a secretj.

Our French hosts provided a full programme embracing education as well as entertaining events. It started \vi th a welcome party in the Jl'iarie with an official welcome speech delivered by their IvJayor, refreshments ·vrere provided to suit everyone. 'l'he welcome visit ended ui th every :ti;nglish lady being given a red rose. The \-lhole 2 weeks official programme embraced.

1. A teenagers disco with refreshments. 2. A visit to inland lakes for swinuning- e;ames 2-nd uicnics. 3. A visit to a safari park near Paris, called 'l'hoiry vlild Safari Park. 4. An interesting evening walking, sightseeing around Old Le-l'ians. 5. A days outing visiting an Arts and Craft centre at Ponce-sur-le Loir. 6. A visit to a 1dood Nuseum followed by a vralk thrGugh a beautiful forest of Berce. 7. A farewell Party in the school on the last Thursday evening. Added to the above programme there were many other visits provided by hosts for us

as well as the many invitations one gets to call for "Aperitifs". On several occasions I needed to visit the homes of the French hosts, it had to be

seen to be believed what had been provided for our children. The hosts of Hulsanne have to be thanked for the generosity and conside�a�ion given to the children.

Any function, outing or whatever can only be a success if it is planned properly with the help of many enthusiastic people. It was obvious that many hours of hard v1ork went into our visit. All our thanks and g-ratitude go to l·ir. and l"irs. J. :Denis, :rr.r. and Hrs. L. Dutemple, and I•tr. and Hrs. J. Laget, vlho are the principal officers of the conuni ttee. Hov1ever there are other people \.,rho vrere constantly considering our needs who I have not mentioned, but they have not been forgotten. \'le appreciate what they did for us and will extend the same sort of material generosity to them next year.

The people of Nettleham should be proud of the youngsters who visited Nulsanne. l'iany were strangers to me at the start of the holiday. The behaviour, good manners and consideration to their hosts and to everyone around them makes me proud to be associated with them. They are:-

Stua.rt Grey, Peter Cullen, Ivlichael Pri tchard, :Paula and Ani ta \'Joodhead, Sarah and Rachael Jt,arns·.lOrth, Da.vid .::itevenson, Helen '..ialker, Claire and \Jendy Nice, :Debbie Adams, Sarah Noule, Alasta.ir Plant, :David hartin, Rebecca Ita tclidde, Camilla Hu.mphries and And�cew Greening.

The only disa:·Jpointment on this occasion was, I ha.d to encourage 3 teenagers who live outside the village to join our party so that the numbers were sufficient to make it possible to run the trip.

It would be encouraging if more Nettleham children, adults or families would benefit from the hard work that the committee put into such a \-lOrth while cause.

Should anyone wish to lmow more about Twinning with people in Hulsanne, please contact me at 55 Brookfield Avenue, Nettleham.

SOCCIB BOSS· lllVlALII

For those involved in tite running of a professional football club it is big business and the vTorld of high finance, economics, man management, fund raising, administration, diplomacy and survival. 'l'hese ingredients are abundantly evident in the lives of those vlho run the smaller am�1teur clubs, albeit to a lesser degree •

., Indeed survival is very often a much more difficult prospect at this level. For some, running a club is a dream, for others a nightmare, for �he majority a long hard slog, for all, it is difficult.

vlhat ha!)pens hovTever Vlhen all these tas'cs are undertaken by one person who vtrtually runs a club single handed. At thirty tv1o years of age Ann Green of Scothern Road, Net tleham is the energetic soccer boss of ':Jel ton '•/illiam Farr Football Club currently playing in· Division 1wo of the Lincoln And District Sunday League. She combines the roles of Fixtures Secretary, General Secretary, '1'reasurer, Laundress And occasional part time groUnd stpff, to produce an efficient administrative machine for a club founded five seasons ago, the result of an idea by her brother Allan and his friend Colin Holman. Rather than se:perate and.play for other teams they decided to form their mm club and Ann was asked to help. She readily agreed ;�nd one of her tasks was to obtain the teams first strip for £20 from another club that had folded, and so it all started.

Since i tsformation the club have craduated from Division .i:;ight to Division 'l\10 via a drama tic score of _-1romotions. 'rhey also 1·!rm tr.e ,.,'�"er. Q;ui_ h"' 1 1 Cup at Sincil Bank in 1983, and have achieved S)Onsorship fror.1 the Nene Driving School and the Black Bull Inn at \>Jel ton •

. An all round. s::Jorts lady Ann is thoroughly at home in the male dominated world of soccer. There are \vomen in the g;:une \vi th specific adr.1in roles but not many who literally run the club themselves.

Records·are ir.lffiaculately kept, every tcune, score and result is meticulously logged, char·i;ed and fully up to date. Every financial transaction is accurate to the penny and each fixture carefully organised. Home match days "travel arrangements, refreshments and kit are all taken care of, nothing is left to chance. The one thing Ann doesn't do is select the team that being left in the hands of a coach and eo-manager. There is little doubt however th<d her knowledge of soccer and commitment to a game she loves \·Jould serve her \vell in that ca.paci ty should it be necessary.

All the laundering and ironing of players kit is done in the kitchenette of Ann's home, a special VTasher being available for this purpose. Vlhen the task is completed the machine is put avlay until the next time. l·rrs Green keeps VTell out of the way no doubt reca.lling days Vlhen she herself undertook the same chore for teams, in years gone by.

A lot of people 'I>Tould find this vleight of responsibility an extremely daunting task. Indeed one Hell-knovm professional resigned recently because of a similar situation. Ann told me that her hardest job is getting �1la.yers to pay their subs each V!eek. 'rhere is always money for a drink after the Il1.'ltch but paying subs is something else. She generally enjoys her role in the rough tough vTOrld of soccer and accepts the ranting and raving laced VTi th occasional strong language as �)art of its natural habitat. And Ann says "After all its a man's game".

Hhen asked if she ever felt the need to taJce uu a job Hi th a professional club, her answer was a breath of fresh air \·lhen set against the dog-eat-dog att,utudes that exist in the game to-day. 11If I h2.d to do it for a livin'3' the fun \Wuld go out of it. I enjoy it, it helps me to relax a.nd I have a good 'dorking relationship viith everyone at the Club, \vhen you enjoy something it js nr;t really diffj_cult!!"

Ann comes from a sporting family, her father Mdie Green l)layed for Nettleham in 1947 before moving north where he spent tv10 seasons \'lith Scarborough. In addition to earning her living on the shop floor at iliglish J:;lectric, she plays s �uash, tablP. tennis, indoor and outdoor bmvls as vrell a.s Horking for 1./el ton Uilliam Fa.rr Football Club. Ann has been a Lincoln City supporter for almost tHenty years never missing a home game Hnd travelling to every fixture Hherever possible.

Her job provided a living but sport dominates her life and in this she is supported by parents vJho give every encourpgement. In a soccer supremo vli th vlide sportinE' interests one thing bothers me - she doesn't like cricket! 1)erhaps her s;>ortinc- education is after all incomplete, but her dedication to Willi<·m 1<1arr Football Club is in no doubt for without her there nay not even be a club.

!I:OISCLUB THE 1st THIRTEEN YEARS

It seems a long time ago that the new tennis courts were laid in the corner of Bill Bailey's memorial playing field.

To some people it.was a triumph after years of endeavour and hard work, to others it was a complete waste of rate payers money. HovTever, the courts were laid after a village poll and the tennis club members have, of those people who were beginners at the time, now realised that the money that the village invested has indeed been well used by members of the village.

Many things have changed since those early worrying days when a very small nutnber of people vTOrke'l exceedingly ha.rd but very enthusiastically to achieve their dream. In those days a tennis match meant arriving early at the field, erecting a framed tent which provided accommodation for the visitors but also afforded cover from the sun/rain which graced our earlier matches. It is fair to say that the growth of the tennis club has been like a graph on wme naughty boy's mathematics book - haphazard� But it is vTith confidence that we can now say that the tennis club is very well established, financially very sound and has had in 1983 its best ever year. We do not class the best ever year as the one where we win everything - but a year in vThich more people have joined the club, more juniors have been encouraged to play tennis and the courts have been used to their full extent. Indeed, those people vTho live in the village in the vicinity of the tennis courts will lcnow that every Sunday, even in the bitterest of weather, snow permitting that there are not just two or three playing tennis but a full complement of members in attendance eager to get on the courts.

As a tennis club we have always been very aware of the importance of looking after the youngsters and indeed the club subsidised since its existance coaching schemes for the youngsters in the village. It is indeed very rewarding to see almost, at times, too many children trying to get onto the tennis courts and the success of this part of the club's activities has been due in no small way to the time and energy that some members of the club have been prepared to give to the youngsters. It is not just a question of the kids being able to play tennis on the courts they are now organised �d. are keen �to be organised, and the numbers are increaang because of that organisation.

It is not just the kids who play on the courts, there is now a thriving ladies section and Tuesday and 'lbursday afternoons are the times vThen 'squealing ladies' as opposed to 'squealing kids' can be heard enjoying themselves on the courts. And I hasten to add it is not 'pat-ball' anymore as it used to be, it is good hard competitive ladies tennis, which is taken very seriously but with full enjoyment by all the ladies involved.

All the club activities both playing and social are blooming. For the first time there is a very busy winter sec�ion Saturdays and Sundays when the courts are busy and monthly tournaments have very keenly been contested by up to 25 members.

The 1984 summer season beckons and will be full of friendly matches both mens and ladies, mixed and juniors, more and more club activities and hopefully, still more new\ faces.

If you are interested, vTe would love to see you, whether you can play or not, (we have ways of helping you! ) and either roll up at the courts on Sunday mornings or contact any other tennis club member.

Things certainly have changed since the early days, and they've changed for the better. We look forward to the possibility of new courts at Nulsanne Park·in the future. but until such time as they arrive will endeavour to use the existing facilities to the fullest extent.

NETTLE HAM

In Conversation with Sid

I was born in 1908 in Sheffield and came to Nettleham 2 years later. I went to Nettleham School at five and Peter Arch 1;1as the Headmaster. His tHo sons were called

· Hector and Clem, I think he was the el?-est. He lived in the School House. Vie lived in The Crescent where Dick Fletcher lives now, there were some cottages, us, Needham and Jarvie Nicholson, Robinson's and then Granthams.

vlhat did your father do for a living't He was a bricklayer - in his early days he worked for Parker, but before then he worked for Bailey - who \ve knew as "Kosh" Bailey. He give that "Bill Baileys" Field. He learnt his trade with Pask in Lincoln. JI'J:y mother just kept the house, didn't work in the village, no midwife work like Jimmy's (Sawyer's) mother did.

How many of a family were you?. There was Charlie, the eldest, then me, then a sister who died, then Joey, then Eileen and then Jack. I finished school about 12 or 13, I was an errand boy in Lincoln, I had to walk to a tobacconist called Garton, they had a shop on the corner of Park Street in High Street opposite Ruddocks; my "rages were 4/- week, delivering parcels to the Stations, and to the carrier carts in the Crown and Anchor Yard and so. It was during the first world war and I remember one night in particular I saw a Zeppelin; I was frightened to death, I ran like Hell - I saw the Zepp "\olhen I was near the Nightingale Inn; I heard some thuds and it \•laS when they dropped some bombs at vlashingboro. I ahrays said if that train hadn't stopped under that tunnel they would have bombed Lincoln. The Zepp lost the train in the tunnel othen1ise he would have followed it in. He dro:::rped one or two bombs "'hich did very little damage. I can remember seeing the Zeppelin over 1tlashingboro and Lincoln. It \vas behreen 6 and 6. 50 at night. The bombs dropped in the orchard at the back of Washingboro Station and on the following Sunday a crovrd of neople from Lincoln came to look at the bomb damage and they vlere crossing the river on the hand drawn ferry from �he Greetwell side. Because of the number of people aboard the ferry tipped over and I believe 17 people were drowned.

These carrier carts you were talking about - where did they come from, because my grandfather Has one of them from Hackthorn� He used to go out along the Old Street past Scamp ton. He used to put up in the Crown Yard in Nev1land - the Crown & Anchor nm:. They also used to put up in the Old Nonson & Falcon & the Great Northern Tap. I know a lot about the Tap cause I v1orked there. After two years as a errt1,r1d boy, - the day \.far was finished - I got a job at Rustons Ironworks - hammer driving - I v1orked there 4 or 5 years, money was very little- £1 or so. Later I went to Claytons Stamp Shop at the Forge, the forman v1as Harry Heald, I was hammer driving and then stamping - we used to stamp Ford con-rods, we got 10/- a gross. Nights regualr, 6 at night to 6 in the morning. This was about 1927 or 8. Work was so slack sometimes we were home by 7 pm, nothing to do. In the early 30's I got a job as a Porter at the Great Northern Hotel, l''lrs Furber vias the proprietress at the time. Her son John, I see him regularly now, he comes in the Black Ho�se for a drink on a Saturday dinner. I vias day and night porter - all sorts. I had been there Harking during the first \-Jar - because I had to let people in at night, but . Mrs Furber stopped me letting Officers in with women at night� They use�· to pay but ·ahe stopped it all. An Officer on his own - but no't vli th Homen� They called the Ostler at the Great Northern Stables - Tinker and the landlord and landlady were called Sumner. The Black Bull Pub \vas further up High Street ooposi te the Cornhill and the Black Swan.

In 19 30 a man called Smith had a paper round at Tin tmm on V! rag by Road a.nd it \·laS £100 to buy. It consisted of villages and I bought it. I picked my papers up at the Bowling Green. Before then I 1d gone to live at Tirinsey Nook - that was how I got linked up with my wife. Ny brother Charlie married my \'life's sister and I went to Drinsey Nook when there was nothing to do - I \vas doing land work, vrhen I got to know about the newsagent. I used to cycle from Drinsey Nook to pick my papers up, then on the \·!rC�.gby Road, Hawthorn Road- then called Stocking Lane, up Bowskill's way, then Cherry Willingham, Fiskerton, Reepham and then Lodge Lane, Nettleham, - only a few houses there then. Then I biked back to :Drinsey Nook. I played football for ;)axilby on a Saturday. \ve got married at Kettlethorpe Church,we held the reception ut the Carpenters Arms at Fenton.

At half past twelve that day I was at Fiskerton delivering papers on my push bike and I had to be at Kettlethor1)e Church at 2! It was a terrible day - I couldn't a picked a worse one and there were no telephones much. They found me eventually, yocked me on the car and we got to flrinsey Nook and eventually the Church. We stopped at Drinsey Nook about 2 years and then I cam'e to live on '1>1ragby .Road, I rented a bungalow from Blunter­field - he used to have buses. l''rom th ere I rented a house from Sid Tiuckmanton he used

to have the honks Abbey. I bought a bungalm-.r near \·.fards cot-:;ages on ··.iragby .tfoad for £305 off a man ca.lled Dennis, a retired chemist. The JJun,<Salo\oT was just :pa.st the Hamper Farm. I lived in it for a nur.!ber of years carried on l•ii th my :paper round and hiss ':·!inter used to keep a little shop in Lodge Lane, told me they were going to give up the shop. There 1-.ras only a dozen houses round there then. Bill Hamilton the builder had a bit of land at the corner of Lodge Lane, and I asked him to build me a shop there. DQring the \-Tar I vras in the Obse:::ver Cor:os at Heepham on the outpost. I joined the Corps in 1937, we were S\Wrn in as special constables i:;hen and after vre Here a..rnalgamated 1-ri th the Observer Corps a..""ld aften1ards given -;;he title of ��oyal. \·le had 2. dug-out at Ree_•_Jham as you are going dovm to Barlings, \·le \-.rere underneath a shed and made it into a dug-out, vTe ' had a machine for Sl1otting aircraft. '.i'he first nignt of the H2.r, the "buzzer" went and we \orere called out on duty, but it vias a false alarm. I've still got the roster \-.re �

worked, there 'tTas about 14 of us •:rorking in si1ifts, 2 at a time. 'de vrere looking for a better site nearer Linr.oln - a big higher round and \ve got a :post at Greev.·rell - a lot higher, in 1:.lm-.rscrs field. \-le had some very good binoculars and one day - a very clear day - Pnd I could soe ? Observers out Scarnblesby \·!ay. ':le rang them <md asked if J.;hey could put a flag out - they did do - and I could see them from there - a hell of a long \·.ray awa.y.

I built the shop in Lodge Lane (nmr Heams) and opened on 15th August 1955 and the first days takings vrere £5 10. 0. - on a \·!edT1esd2.y. '1.'hen it Hent 11p to £9 a day, £10, £14.10 2nd £15 Saturday. On Sunday 21 :::t I took �t1.10.0, then f-16 end '£18 c:.nd then £20 after 3 Heeks. In five weeks I took £•!0 Heek ?..nd then :Z99 and finally £108 \•Teek in Hover.1ber 55. In december f.131 vreck, In ,June 57 I took £172 Heek, and finally £200 later on. hy big day vT8S Saturday. I Has in there 15 years <<nd \·Then I finished I WP.s teJdng £400 vTeek. Hhat rnde me vras the neH bu:!.ldings b.eing put up round about. I did a delivery round of fTOceries and papers, up to the knees in mud, when the estate was being built. \/hen it '<Tas built up a number of delivery vans came rmmd but I used to clear them off my bit.

I sold the business in October - �.:e, 500 and stock - 2.nd my eye "'3.S on this plot of land including all the corner plot for 5�2,000. It belonged to a man at :Oisho:p Horton. Geo Baker Hho lived op ·osi te r:ut me 1<Tide to it 2.nd he '.-lent vri tl). me to see him. I bought it off him. Smith a.;-,d J.'lla.rkham built it for me - l1Jrs P_,aeues 1-.ras their Secretary - I paid them as they built it. Bettison did the plumbing. i:!e've been 16 years novr.

Hhen did you start :playir:g football for 1Tettleham':' I \·lc>.s about 16 - in the Horth - -­

Lincoln League - A plm·rhi te gave the cup· in 1923/4 and we :plA-yed I�Jar.ket Rasen at �.-!ragby' in the final. 'l'here 'ilas a helleva crovrd there - 2000 I think - I was :playing outside right, I v1as tri:::rped up in the penalty area and my brother nissed a penalty so \-Te tad to re_9lay it on the '.-Jednesday and \<Te ti·ot beat 1-0. '.!:hose vTere the days. Rolleston \-.ras in goal Charlie r"ly brother at left back, Bob Vickers 8entre forv:ard, 'l'ed 'lla.nrick 2.lso :)l2.yed left back and L:rnette Baker 1-•as his oa.te. Banty Atkin, ·,-tal ter Jubb, Long Harry Barman,

·Arthur Jubb inside right, and 'i/ri:;ht from Scorer's farm. I·.�:,ybe .rtrthur Jubb \·rasn't playing that day. Could have been Larder or Nanty. .le ·olayed in the :�orth Lincoln Leaeue all the time - on the Hill Ground. 'l'here \•rere plenty of 1layers at Eettleham and Na.nty am' me vrent to Dnnholme for a. yep.� o,.. +wo. 'i'hP.n '·'P. I"Pme beck P.nd nual.ified again for the Ap�Jle,.,rhi te Cup and beat Sishop Horton 8-1. I scored six goals from centre fon-.rod. ])ickinson the :policer.an played that day. I believe Arthur Shirley kept f,'Oal in that other cup final at 'dragby. Bob Vicker;s had left by then to go to \oJOrk i.n London. Did you ever play on Sincil Bank - Yes, one for Saxilby in the ViJ12.ge Trophy. nettleham never -played there vlhilst I vTas playing.

Can you remember any other S:_Jorts in the Village then'; Yes, Cricket - Charles �•iilson .... at Riseholme Hell just after the first \·!e.r a.nd he told us he h2.d a •_•i tch at Hiseholme and� ,.Te got a t��ar:1 u:_) out the village and Bill J)ennis, l'.lg;_;·er Hicholson, my brother and �:!alter Jubb and all them - • .. re had a good team but it \vas called Jii.seholme, not Nettleham. Tom },reebree played 2.nd lJorrnan Jubb played.

Can you remember these running srjorts in the Pa.rk': Yes, and vTon the cycle race. They Here held vJhere the school is. I used to enter other races. Do you remember Albert l)reston': He \-Tas a cood - very good - runner. He didn't alHays run under his o'\>m name -because there \v2 s some bet�ing ta..lcing �)lace - and then he could get his bets on. \·!e used to get a lot from Lincoln. 'l'here used to be s�1ecial racing bikes, but I vras on my own bone sha�er and they never did catch me.

'1.'here used to be t'ne rifle range behind the Institute, then ·there vms a billiard table in the 'Stute - that billierd -;;able v1e bought fror.1 �he Vx'ill Hall. Geo l-ii tchell

- 3 -

fetched it in his lorry, there was nearly -! a ton of slate alone. VIe got it up the steps and Lincoln Hill vras the caretaker at the time, he 1..ras a very good snooke;r.- and billiard player and he learnt us a lot. He \vas Len Thompson 's father in la1v. 'l'he Institute was given to the village about the turn of the century and went vrell to begin with - the rent was 1/- year. Then it got out of hand and it was given to the Church to

· run. There vias gambling going on and that caused the trouble. Nr Torr gave the Hall -he was a big Liberal. 'l'here �ora.s a row about it at that time but nothing could be done.

1dhen they built the Village Hall they ought to have bought the Institute - they said there 1.,ras no access - but look there is lorries in there novr �

Back in the old days hO'I-1 many nubs can 'rou· remember': There >vas the Black Horse, Plough, Saracen' s, ',}hi te Hart, Half- \·Jay House and the Brmm Cov1. I think the F,alf 'day lfouse went about 1900 because they used to bre�-r beer from the pond. Hicholson kept the �rown Cm.,r and he brevred his mm ale. Where was the Greyhound': On ·�·Tragby Road on the lrreetwell side where the garage is now, it disa.p::oeared about 1900.

This menu was off a ship called S.S. !Vlarine Raven. That was the name of the American Ship that I was on for D. Day in 1944. It carried troops from England to France to the Omaha beachhead. Were you still in the Royal Observer Corps then� Yes, it was called Seaborne Observers, 1..re volunteered and I \'laS the only one. from Lincoln. \'ie went to Bournemouth for training in the Royal Bath Hotel. '.i'hen we went to S'\oransea and on board this American Ship. I thought "they'll never sink this darm1ed great big thing". It was a liberty ship S]ecially for carrying' troops, we took 2000 at a time. D. Day was postponed a day, because of the wind, and we sailed the next day. I kept a diaX"J of everything then to finishing. 'vie had one or two sub alerts on the v1ay to France, we had plenty of ships about, I remember one battleship - American - called the Enterprise, it went over with �s with cruisers. Seeing the depth chare::es and everything. He landed the troops on Omaha beachhead and the first night I shall remember as long as I live. Talk about fireworks, they wer'ent in it. Oh it was tremendous I was watching one ship, about -! mile off the shore, it '\-rent UIJ in a cloud of smoke and it had gone. I vras spotting aircraft for the gunners, because earlier in Greece, the American gunners shot so many of our planes dmm - they couldn't identify them well enough. There Here two of us to identify as many as ]Ossible - ours or theirs. The other man lives at Alford and we still keep in touch now. \'le were on the ship six or seven vTeeks, 1:1e made t�oro trips across and eventually docked in Liver-pool. Hany of the cre'\oT vranted me to go back to America vli th tilem. :rvr,y wife Has carrying on my business then. Vie were classed as petty officers in the Royal Navy '\-Then we v1ere discharged. I ke:pt all the l'Ie::nus vrhilst I was on the shi:;: -we 1 i. ved He 11 P s 'rou can see. 'J e lived like lords.

Hhat can you remember about Nettleharn': 'l'he Butchers Shop in the \1Thi te Hart Yard or the Feast being held there':' Yes, the Feast definitely, the 'lfall down the middle of the car park. There used to be little roundabouts hoop-la stall, coconut shies etc. Webster kept the 'dhite Hart then Goodyear took it in 1915 - he travelled for Huffer afterwards and kept the ducks on the beck. The }'ish Shop used to be more or less at the back of the \·lhite Hart. \'/hat other shops were there in the Village':- Saunders had Bettison's, J.R.Gale had Thompsons and Nrs l•:iillington next to 1;he 'tfnite Ha:::-t '\-There the Bank is. Bob Vicker 's mother kept the one opposite Thompsor: 1 s. She \'/aS called either Vickers or \lla.rwick tall and white haired. Bob Vickers and 'l'ed \-/arwick \Iere related step sons or something. Ted 'l"i'ar....rick married Charlie .C.:lsom's daughter and she's still alive. 'l'hey lived o�;posite the church in the cottages.

Who \·laS the parson'!' Could have been \'Jatkins. I was in the choir in '•iatkins time as a choir boy. Robinson, Charlie Blsom, I knew them all.

Cotten-Smith came after Hatkins. I·Jy dad 1vas a big bell ringer, Geo

Jack started playing for Corini thians \·Then he vras 15 or 16, before he played for Lt.J.ncoln. 'l'hen he lllayed for Grinsby during the \Iar. He played for every professional qlub in Lincolnshire. He wasnick-narned "Tunney" at Boston because Tunstall ex Sheffield Ynited played for them before him. Jack played for Darlington before Lincoln and Arsenal were interested at one time but he vrasn 't big enough for them! He had a tremendous left foot shot - I knovl -�hat vrhen he played for nettleharn later on �

The stocks on the village green were near the telephone box. Tintown vras an area in Greetwell parish, opJO � te the present Council Houses.
