Nervous men got down on one knee to propose, there was stomping on benches and swinging pints, and then more sobering recollections of loved ones who had passed away - all at the same location in Nottingham in different decades. The corner of Derby Road and The Ropewalk, at Canning Circus, holds many memories but it depends on which generation you belong to.
Currently the buildings that were most recently the Dancing Dragon Chinese restaurant and Ropewalk bar next door, are both boarded up. But back in the day this was a location with plenty going on.
The site was once home to Richard Clower & Sons, a funeral parlour, and later the Co-op, and many people remember going to see their loved ones there for the final time. We asked members on the Facebook page Old Nottingham Pictures for their memories and there were hundreds of responses.
