replied on: 1/20/2005 2:28:23 PM I remember Johnny from when he was about 11. He went to Loscoe Rd; Boys School. We and half the class went on a Month's long 'Holiday' to the Brackenfield Adventure School. He was the only one whose parents signed for him to stay an extra month. When the return bus pulled up for us to go, he changed his mind, sneaked on the bus and hid behind the back-seat - till the bus driver countered us and off he went. IF it's the same Johnny we're talking about? Azzabuv. |

replied on: 2/26/2005 5:23:15 PM I still often use Langley Mill Post Office, which has been in the same building since the 1900's. It isn't, however, the original location of the post office, which started life on Cromford Road, opposite the Midland Hotel. What's all this got to do with "Families of Langley Mill"????!!!!! |

replied on: 2/26/2005 9:17:13 PM Sorry-I asked about PO in Langley Mill after a posting about no banks in langley Mill. I'll get back on topic-I think one of the post office staff was a Haslam-or married to one-Haslam has to be a well known Langley Mill family! |

Bernard Price the son bred St Bernard Dogs and they moved to Nuthall on retirement around 1960.The POST OFFICE during this time was the main sorting office at this time all mails being delivered from Nottingham by the first bus in the morning and then later for the second delivery.Postmen and Woman i recall during the war where: Winniefred Anne Chamberlain(my mother) George Page Ernie Allen Arthur Raynor Mail after the last collection was sent back to Nottingham(after the local mail had been sorted)from the Gt Northern Station. |

replied on: 4/26/2005 12:50:01 PM Hi I have read with interest the postings about East View Terrace or 'Penders Row'. I am looking for information on Robert Pender and family whose gravestones are in Marlpool Cemetery. The HDLHS 'In Heanor Then and Now' says that "One of the earliest engineering firms was located to the east of the main railway line at Aldercar and was owned by Messers Turner, Pender and Goulden. This firm eventually moved to the Star Factory, now Canlin's and became G.R.Turner Limited." and 'A Portrait of Heanor and District 1900-2004' says "G.R Turner began on a site at the end of East View Terrace and crossed the railway in 1876." Robert Storry Pender (a great great uncle of mine!) was an engineer born in Whitburn, Scotland and moved to Langley Mill in about 1860. Does anyone know if it is he that Pendre's Row was named after, or have any other information about this family? |

replied on: 4/26/2005 7:00:36 PM Page Both statements about the engineering firms are correct. There was an engineering company on Cromford Road (opposite the Durham Ox), as described in the older book. They then moved across the railway line to the Star Foundry, and, in due course, this developed into G.R.Turners. The firm then moved back across the railway lines to the Vulcan Works, at the top of Bridge Street. I have recently acquired the sales particulars of the first site, though it does not mention the company name, complete with a large scale diagram of the site - interestingly, an OS map published only a few years after the sale shows that the land was now derelict, with few of the buildings remaining. I have absolutely no doubt that Pender's Row was named after your ancestor, though I have no proof to date. Pender is not a common local name, but it was common to name terraces after the owner or builder. Pender's Row was directly adjacent to the Star Foundry. Thanks for your interest in the site - let us know of anything you find - we've never done an article of Mr Pender! |

replied on: 5/6/2005 8:02:54 AM Hi, Could this be the same Robert Pender? Ripley and Heanor News 1895 LANGLEY MILL Entertainment – On Tuesday evening a humorous entertainment, specially arranged by Mr Robert Pender, the local humorist, was held in the Langley Mill Co-operative Hall, when there was a crowded attendance many being unable to gain admission. Amongst those present were – Rev. C. B. Porter and Miss Porter, Mr. H. H. Smith, Mr Mrs and the Misses Pender, Mr Bell, Mr Johnson, Mr W. Calvert, Mr Carver, Mr Hopkins, Mr Slater, Mr Pollard, Mr and Miss Glossop, Mrs Gent, Mrs H. Lomax, Mr Pynegar, and Mr J. Andrews. A special and attractive programme had been arranged the entertainment being opened with a pianoforte selection. “A night in town” by Mr Harry Dennis. Mr Pender, whose appearance created much laughter, as he came on in character, and sang with marked effect in the first part, “Merriment” “Will you dance with me” “I missed it” “That’s how its done” and concluded the first part by singing “The mate, the middy, and the mad M.D.” In this half of the programme also Mr Will Scanlon, the celebrated elocutionist, gave in his well-known style, “King John, and the Abbot” “He brought the coals” “Moser’s automatic dog” but his masterpiece recitation, which was much appreciated was “Sam Weller’s valentine” The second part gave equal satisfaction, the audience being kept in roars of laughter to the finish. Mr Pender took all the parts, and the rapidity with which he changed his costume was marvellous, and he was deservedly encored in his performances in the sketch, entitled “”Tumbletoddy’s evening party” the character’s being admirably sustained in the songs “If only my moustache would grow,” “Use a little oil,” “Oh, the merry merry days when we were young,” “The model husband,” and “A night with baby,” The entertainment was a decided success in every respect, and by request, Mr Pender will repeat it, and give the proceeds to the children’s hospital.

replied on: 5/6/2005 10:35:23 AM Hi Jenny, My guess is that this is Robert Storry Pender junior who would have been about 24 at this time (He is described as a Grocer's Assistant in both the 1891 and 1901 censuses). Robert Storry senior the Engineer would have been 65, and may well have been a great entertainer too! I have a genealogy web-page that includes the Pender family at http://home.clara.net/pgwg/page/index.html. Any chance of a copy of that Ripley and Heanor News article? My e-mail is on the web site contact page. Paul |
