i was born and bred in Clipstone. My grand parents,(Sid & Maude Wigmore) lived in a nissan hut before the houses were built.Then they moved to 66 Forest Rd where they lived until they passed away in 1994 and 1996. I lived on King Johns Rd until I was 11 in 1968. My mum remarried and we moved to Leeds, boy did I hate that place, as soon as I left school i moved back to Clipstone. My brother Paul used to hang around Des Piper, and myself with Carl and Uno, they lived on 5th Avenue opposite the Welfare. I have very fond memories of Clipstone and live not far away to this day.

If memory serves me we were going to Skegness, or it could have been Cleethorps. Vanessa is a facebook friend of mine, lovely lass, myself I have been in Florida for the past fifteen years but I am about to move back to Clipstone with my American wife and son.

I also remember the Pipers well and my time at Clipstone. I moved to Chesterfield when I was 13, but Clipstone will always be home. I married Sue Beadsmoore in 1981 (who lived in the shop on Garibaldi Road) and we now have two grown up children. We still have family who live in the Clipstone/Ollerton area and visit regularly.
