replied on: 2/21/2006 3:11:57 PM Yes I remember the Fish shop as a kid. What happened to Birks Dress shop just across from Freddie Crooks Flog shop? And just as a matter of interest - the huge door, still on the Westminster Bank was built by my father. Any stories about the early Cosy. My grandfather used to play the violin in a combo for the silent movies there. |

replied on: 3/3/2007 9:05:24 AM Ripley Advertiser 1888 A MARKET PLACE FOR HEANOR Generous Gift by Mr. E. M. Mundy Although several plans and schemes have been freely discussed and a large number of meetings have been held on the subject, very little progress has been made, partly on account of the monetary difficulty, but chiefly owing to the great diversity of opinion which existed as to where the market should be situated, It appears, however the difficulty has been solved, as Mr. E. M. Mundy, J.P. Shipley Hall, has come to the front and made a generous offer to the parishioners of Heanor. He is willing to give a piece of ground, upwards of three thousand yards in area, from what is known as the Laws, abutting on to the old Market place, opening out nearly opposite the church, and extending nearly to Ray Street. The only stipulations are that the said land shall be used solely as a market, and for no other purpose, that it shall be under the control of the local authorities, and that the sum of £200 be raised by subscription to defray the cost of pulling down and removing the high wall which runs the whole length of the plot, making a new footpath, &c. The offer has met with the most favourable reception, and upwards of £150 has been already promised towards the required sum. In some places the wall will be put back 30 yards. This added to the large open space there is at the present times, will form one of the most commodious market places in the county of Derby. Among the subscribers is Mr. T. Hardy, of Kimberley, who gives £100. The work of removing the wall and preparing the ground will begin in the course of a few days. Jenny |

replied on: 3/4/2007 7:38:55 AM 1888 Ripley Advertiser Heanor The new market on Wednesday the work in connection with the new market place was commenced in earnest. A number of trees which stand on the ground were cut down. The occasion was of great interest to the parishioners, and considerable excitement was manifest. As a token of remembrance of the first tree being felled the church bells rang out a merry peal. The work is to be carried on as quickly as possible. In 1887 one of the plans was to build the market place on Taghill “no 1 Market scheme” which included purchase of the Cross Keys for £1600, but then they received the letter from E. M. Mundy, Esq, of Shipley Hall, April 3 1888. Jenny |
