Church/Chapel Summary
replied on: 9/12/2004 3:01:18 PM In my earlier post re the catholic church, I meant to say Sunningdale Avenue rather than Lockton Avenue - opposite the newsagents on Ilkeston Road - I think there's a car dealership or similar there now. Thanks for the name of the church - I didn't know it. Elnor Street had the mission church prior to the building of St. Andrews - a "tin tabernacle" of which there were many in the area. I've just thought of another that isn't in the list taken from the newsletter index, nameley the church at Stoneyford, which is no longer there. I think the scouts met there at one stage too, before moving to Milnhay Road. I intend listing all of them on the main web site once I have sufficient (just one or two sentences) to say about them all, with a link to a separate page for those about which much is known. |

replied on: 10/11/2004 6:58:37 PM I've now found the Catholic Church. The building I was confusing it with, which is now a garage, used to be the "Mundy Hall" - what was that all about? |

replied on: 10/12/2004 10:51:07 AM Chrisbrin The building on Elnor Street was the old Parish Rooms for St Andrews church.Sunday School was held there twice a day.And in my days at the Infants school(1940-1945)we had our school lunch there.It was heated by 2 or 3 Coke stoves which used to Glow Red on the top these eventually being blamed for its detruction by fire. A photograph of this building is included no: 23 in the book Bygone Langley Mill by Bryan Wright and Andrew Knighton.It was used as a church from 1895 up until the building of St Andrews in 1912 |

replied on: 10/13/2004 9:52:02 AM I attended the infants school from 1962 and vaguely remember there being a green? corrugated metal building on the opposite corner, don't know when it was demolished though. I remember going to wedding receptions, parties and I think a pantomime at the Mundy Hall probably during the 1960's early 70's |

replied on: 12/12/2004 1:52:55 PM Hi Chrisbrin, I've just read your input about Mount Street Chapel. I have just discovered from the 1861 census that my great grandfather-Henry West, who was 10 yrs old at the time, was a boarder - Mount street Heanor. The other occupants are listed as : Heanor, Mount Street Piece 2435 pg 103. Lydia Rosere, head, um, 37, school teacher, York, Ecclisall. Sarah A Rosere, sister, um, 34, post office assistant, York, Ecclisall. Ann Rosere, niece, um, 31, school teacher, Derby. Henry West, boarder, 10, scholar, Derby, Shipley. Arthur West, boarder, 8, scholar, Derby, Shipley. Henry Cartlidge, boarder, 6, scholar, Derby. ............................................ I assume that Arthur West was his brother. I don't know why he was a boarder,as he was born in the area (I think that his birth is ref: West Henry Dec qtr 1849 Basford 15 446)-unless he had been orphaned?! In view of the fact that the Rosere sisters were teachers, do you think that the chapel could have been a school in 1861? Jen |

replied on: 12/13/2004 10:48:19 AM Hi Jen. Sorry I don't have any further information re the chapel. It's possible I suppose that it could have been a school. People I could have asked are unfortunately no longer with us. Chrisbrin |

replied on: 3/20/2005 7:48:30 AM I've only just spotted that, on the full list of churches on page 1 of this thread, I missed out one of the places I attended as a kid, namely Aldercar St. John's. I must try to develop this information into a main web page some time soon. |

replied on: 3/20/2005 8:09:06 AM Re Jenkellock's post of 12/12/04. The sister's she refers to were actually Lydia and Sarah Agnes ROSCOE, not Rosere. The Roscoe's were a well-established family in Heanor. Thomas Seddon Roscoe ran the town's post office (explaining Sarah's job) which was situated on Derby Road, at the junction with Mount Street. (All starting to fit!) He was also the first headmaster of the National School on Loscoe Road, which opened in 1848. (How he managed to do this, I'm not sure.) As early as 1835, T.S.Roscoe ran a boarding school on West Hill (Derby Road). Lydia was the first headmistress of the National School (nothing like keeping it in the family!), while M.A. Roscoe was the Headmistress of the infants. There is reference to Lydia later running a boarding school, and this census return obviously dates from that same period. I don't know if there is any connection with the chapel on Mount Street. The Roscoe's name doesn't appear to feature after the 1860's in the Heanor area. (Unless you know otherwise!) |

replied on: 6/17/2005 7:00:11 PM Another omission from the list, which I have just found out about, is the Codnor Christian Science Church, which was on Glasshouse Hill until its closure in 1986. If anyone can tell us anything about this building, it will add to the collective memory! |
