replied on: 10/18/2005 8:18:19 PM I know the road was still open to traffic in late 1960's-possibly it was closed when they revamped the Market Place at a guess I'd say that was late 1980's early 90's-bet Robert will know???? |

replied on: 10/18/2005 8:45:12 PM I bet he won't!!!! Godfrey Street was definitely open until at least the mid 1980's, that's all I can say. |

replied on: 12/3/2005 5:00:04 PM Ripley & Heanor News Oct 27 1898-accompanied by a very good photograph OPENING OF NEW BANK PREMISES IN HEANOR "On Monday next, the 30th instance, there will be opened for the transaction of business a handsome and imposing structure which Messrs Crompton and Evans Ltd, the well known firm of bankers, have just erected.This firm, who have their head offices at Irongate, Derby, and numerous branches throughout the county, opened the Heanor Branch some two years ago,and with the rapid extension of business, the limited accomodation of the old premises in the Market Place has for some considersble time been taxed to its utmost. The company therefore decided to erect a new bank, and it may be safely said that the premises to be opened on Monday are not only replete with every accomodation likely to be required, but they also constitute one of the most handsome architectural features of the town. The new bank is situated at the top of market Street,a short distance from their temporary premises next to the Town Hall, which will now be vacated, and adjoins the site on which stands the Weslyan Chapel, facing the northern end of Ray Street.The whole block has a most imposing appearance, which at once suggests the nature of the business for which it has been erected, and being very substantiously built, is in strict accord with the reputation of this old established banking firm.The facade in Market Street is of pressed bricks, with massive cornices, and dressings of the celebrated Darley Dale Stone, as are also the two other elevations.The principal banking apartment (access to which is out of the entrance hall in front) is rectangular in form, and has a superficial area of440 feet, and is handsomely furnished throughout with mahogany fittings of elaborate design. Leading from this apartment, a short corridor is crossed to the manager's room, into which opens the strong room, fitted with one of Messrs Chubbs damp, fire and burglar proof doors and fittings. The interior, which is specially ventilated, is fitted with safes by the same renowned makers, the whole forming an impregnable barrier to the would be spoiler, fire and burglar alike.The remaining suite of rooms are devoted to the manager's domestic use, and are tastefully and elegantly fitted and finished.The whole of the rooms, business and private, are spacious and well lighted,in fact, nothing has been omitted that would add to the convenience provided for the public in the transition of business, and which will no doubt be greatly appreciated by the banking community in Heanor and District. The architect is Mr Samuel Richards, 3 market Place Ilkeston and the contractor is Mr George Oldershaw, Marlpool. |
