Scan QR code to go to the South County Facebook Page Every now and again, we receive items that elude to the history of Abbey Road and its surroundings. We were more than grateful to obtain this wonderful photograph of a class of students with their teachers at South County School, (now West Bridgford Junior School) on Exchange Road from Keith who grew up on Abbey Road. The photograph is circa 1952. Below is a list of the adults and children, some whom we believe to have passed away. However, you may remember the names yourself if you are of a certain age. On a personal note and having worked at West Bridgford Junior School for 25 years until I took early retirement, I can see that this photograph was taken on the back wall of the playground next to what I knew to be the P.E. shed on the right of the picture. It was recently made into a rather lovely classroom. Back row : Miss Ford/Harrison?

Having a disability can mean you search for endless hours looking for support. Here, we have tried to help by proving links to organisations that may be helpful to you and your family.

Here, we have tried to add information that may help you or others that you may know. If we are missing any information or you know of other people/organisations that may be useful, PLEASE do let us know. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE NEXT TO EACH ORGANISATION & YOU WILL BE TAKEN DIRECTLY TO THEIR WEBPAGE OR FACEBOOK PAGE Links to organisations... Pulp Friction Smoothie Bar Project Pulp Friction CIC is a social enterprise which employs and supports young people with learning disabilities to develop a variety of skills for the future. The Adventure Service The Adventure Service Ltd was founded in August 2011 by Terry Harris-Ellis and Helen Harris-Ellis with the aim of supporting those with additional support needs to ‘Achieve Potential Through Adventure’. We specialise in delivering high-quality outdoor learning experiences for all, including children and adults with learning disabilities. We do this through a variety of adventure-based activities. Each Adventurer is supported and encouraged to do as much as they can from preparing and setting up of activities and buying resources to enable the activity to happen, to pushing themselves to reach that little bit further up the climbing wall or taking their first canoe trip on the open water. No matter what a person’s perceived abilities, we gently support and encourage them to challenge themselves throughout their time with The Adventure Service Ltd. Onup OnUp is a social enterprise project for young people with learning differences providing opportunities to develop skills and contribute to the community. Activities are varied with crafts, outings and cooking to name a few. Notts CYP Monty Hind In short, we are a not for profit organisation that is passionate about helping young people in Nottinghamshire be healthy, safe, confident and successful . We do this by supporting clubs in Nottinghamshire with : An extensive activities programme – including adventure days, camps, sports coaching and tournaments. Education and Training – including accredited courses for young people, their leaders and volunteers. Nottinghamshire Clubs for Young People was originally formed to meet the needs of young men, but has evolved to work with all young people in Nottinghamshire, especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable in today’s society. At the heart of Nottinghamshire Clubs for Young People is an ever evolving number of volunteers, who give their expertise, time and effort in order for young people to have fun and reach their fullest potential. Nottingham MENCAP Nottingham Mencap is a local, self funded charity who offer a full range of services to people with learning disabilities and difficulties. These services include a choice of day activities, both in-house and in the community M8’s & Gener8, Clubs for 5 – 24 year olds Befriending and sitting services, in your home or in the community Smile Stop Hate Crime service Gettaway Club, an evening Social Club for adults with learning disabilities Meet Greet & Eat A little bit about us... We are a non-profit organisation that provides support for adults with additional needs in food redistribution. Since our establishment in July 2020, we have been busy providing a range of services for communities in South Nottingham. We aim to provide a safe space for adults with additional needs to engage within the wider community, gain confidence and social skills; all while making sure everyone has access to good food. Both of which we are immensely proud of. The concept of the organisation came about due to a lack of access, both for volunteering experience for adults with additional needs and of food distribution, particularly with many organisations closing temporarily due to COVID-19. We believe everyone should have access to food, and one way of doing this is to redirect surplus stock from supermarkets to those who require it. With this, we also saw a gap in organisations that were equipped and adequately prepared to provide experience and developmental support to adults with additional needs. It is our ethos that everyone feels included, from our volunteers in the organisation to the users of the service; we are one big family. As a community-driven group, our success rides on the back of the relationship and collaboration of not just our volunteers and service users, but also other organisations striving for similar results in food redistribution. We are privileged to work along-side organisations like Fareshare, and supermarkets M&S, Aldi and The Co-op, who very generously donate food for redistribution to us weekly. These connections ensure we can deliver food-bags, boxes and meals, each week, to those in our community who need it most. As a direct result of this, we have so far; · Distributed well over 100 food bags to the Tollerton, Gamston and Sneinton areas as part of our weekly food bags service. · Set up a social supermarket in Lings Bar Hospital, Gamston, creating a service for the hospital staff and carers to stock up on food. · Participated in Holiday Hunger, an initiative that provided school-aged children with weekly healthy food packages during the summer holidays. · Supported The Friary, who assists homeless individuals, by supplying sandwiches and other food supplies. · And, provided food to the organisation Framework in Nottingham. As you can probably deduce from all this, we are very passionate about what we do, and we are always happy to bring new volunteers on board. If you are interested in getting involved in a worthy cause, or if you are an organisation that would like to get in touch please don’t hesitate to email us at meetgreeteat.contact@gmail.com Notts Help Yourself Have a wealth of information for many ages and abilities.

Our new play area comprises of several peices of equipment that are accessible to all. More are planned for the future. Play Park Improvements 2021-2025 The plan The reality Abbey Park Community Association (APCA) are pleased with the improvements the playground on Abbey Park and we hope you are too. Two benches were installed on the park during 2024 and are enjoyed by many people. They really have been a fabulous addition. See stock photo below. Subject to funding there is potential in Phase 2 to include a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) with low level football goals on the flat area between the trees/bank and the rear of the houses on Waltham Close - see drawing below. This eventually incorporate landscape planting so the views from the nearby houses remain green and pleasant. At the beginning of March 2025 APCA volunteers installed a Willow Weave Tunnel (See photographs below) similar to the one in West Bridgford Park. Positioned between the play park and the nature trail, it provides a natural link between the two area. Obviously, it will need to establish itself, so we ask that you and your children respect this while the cordon is in place. Outline of Willow placement Cut out Complete with bark chipping Outline of Willow placement 1/11 Outdoor Gym - Calisthenic APCA have worked long and hard with Rushcliffe Borough Council to gain adult outdoor gym equipment to be included on the park.

Abbey Circus Air Raid Shelter Walk to Abbey Circus to view the triangle of land which was left to the local residents to enjoy and you will find more than just a grass. For many years the patch of land was off limits until local residents fought for it to be reopened. Today there are access gates, new fencing, planters and, importantly, you will find its WW2 air raid shelter, which is still in existence today. It was earmarked for demolition in 1979, the Cold War drew to a close and the 67 ft shelter (B34TYB) was mothballed but recently has been protected and is now considered to be a site of Special Scientific Interest. A couple of years ago, Chris Reynolds, Professor of Contemporary European History and Memory Studies at Nottingham Trent University took on the project to restore and reopen the shelter. Thanks to him school children now visit to learn about the war effort and the fascinating local history. The general public are also able to visit. Please go to https://ng2shelter.com/about/ to find out more. For more information or to book: Email: information@ng2shelter.com Below you can see a selection of artefacts from inside the shelter.
