Work on the Porchester Road Active Travel Scheme h

Work on the Porchester Road Active Travel Scheme has reached the Post Office and is approx 2/3 complete. Whatever your opinion, it's clear that the way we move around urban areas is changing. Money from the Active Travel Fund and the newly formed East Midlands Combined County Authority added Porchester Road in Mapperley to the strategic cycle network connecting with the Carlton Road.

This photo keeps doing the rounds.

Market stalls on Cavendish Street and Colwick Street in Sneinton Market circa 1925.

The shop was John Pownall’s Marine Store. In 1934 he had moved to Lowdham St and the business was operated more by Jacky Pownall. It was Jacky that became a household name in Nottingham.

Despite having a similar upbringing, we took a look at how the lives of Cyril Stapleton and Jacky Pownall went in different directions.

Cyril Stapleton went on to become the BBC band leader that accompanied the likes of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. His career spanned four decades.

The Pownalls stayed in Nottingham, continuing a family business established in 1870.

Here's their history, with thanks to @hearthandhistoryshop for researching them.
