replied on: 9/22/2006 9:27:15 AM Suz. 1940/50's We used to play in a garden on George Street, about half way up on the left-hand side,I think the childrens names were John and Jean Hallam,they were related to Knowles.In the orchard at the top of the garden near to the jitty in Thompson Street was an old lorry body with J.W.Knowles sign written on the side,I'm fairly certain that this was where Knowles lived.I know they had an haulage business in 1924 and operated from 33,Cromford Road,Tel.65.Their family were friends of my Grandfather.I have an old photograph of a Sunday School parade going along Station Road in the early 1900's and a lorry of J.W.Knowles is following.Bill Limb (A.W.Limb Haulier) lived almost opposite Knowles in George Street.

replied on: 5/4/2008 12:10:10 PM Does anybody remember a cafe on cromford road? I can't be certain but I'm sure I remember it being in the premises of the now model car shop. I have very vague memories of helping a lady out in there I think her name was Pat or something similar people said she was always drunk, and she was very slim. I'm sure most people remember Pauline (Mee?)who sold vegetables? Her cobs have never been beaten and I still see her wandering about every now and again she was lovely. |

replied on: 5/4/2008 2:39:25 PM Yes, I can remember it - and the location is right I am sure - the shop at the side of Victoria Street. Does Pat's Pantry ring a bell, or am I mistaking it for another such cafe somewhere else? I can't remember (and don't think I ever knew) the person who ran it. I can't even be sure when it was. Early 1980's? |
