replied on: 5/31/2005 4:15:11 PM Was this antiquated firm perhaps 'Woodward and Horsfield', listed on the 'Heanor and Area Personnel and Employment - 1857' page, as being in operation in 1857. Anyway, where's the Pub? Azzabuv. |

replied on: 6/1/2005 6:33:50 AM Jennypeg The finding re the Winter Gardens at the Anchor Inn is fascinating - I wonder what they had there? The Anchor is one of the pubs I have had most trouble finding details of - even finding it in censuses has been difficult, as it is in Nottinghamshire (so Eastwood's returns) and because it stands a bit isolated, so finding which enumeration district it is in has been very hit and miss - I think I've only come across it in one census year. As for the Engineering Works - this could be a subject on its own right. I've got a plan of the original site on Cromford Road, when it was up for sale in the 1880's and propose doing some work on this in the future. Pickersgill & Frost set up in Langley Mill, I think, when Turners moved from the Star Foundry to the Vulcan Works - the cutting will probably refer to P & F. |

replied on: 6/1/2005 7:43:42 AM Robert There is an Anchor road just opposite the Great Northern that leads to the canal. I remember going to the canal as a child via the lane from Milnhay Road. When you came to the bridge over the canal, before going up to Bailey Grove Road, there was a pink? painted house. I seem to remember being told that it used to be a pub. Was that the Anchor Inn ?

replied on: 6/1/2005 4:59:47 PM Peter has answered the question you posed. One addition - if you go to the building, and look on the wall which faces towards Ilkeston, you can see the sign of an anchor built into the stone work - the only indication really that it is the same place. The path which runs down from Milnhay to join the canal at this point used to be a tramway for coal trucks, before the arrival of the railways. |

Was it a large house, or just like the others along that stretch of Station Road? I can't remember the Legion very well at all - has anyone got a photo? And can anyone fill in the more recent history - didn't it burn down eventually? |

replied on: 9/14/2005 4:07:34 PM After it closed as The "Legion" it became a night club-can't remember the name- and it did burn down-can't remember dates or anything, but it must have made the local papers! The British Legion was in Langley Mill before 1930-wonder where it was sited before the "new one" was built? |

Re: Public Houses
replied on: 9/14/2005 5:25:01 PM Robert, I've got Auntie on the case!!!! In 1940's to make contact with the British Legion you had to go to see Billy Tame on Milnhay Road. In 1940's/early 50's the British Legion club was somewhere round the back of Edgar Parkers shop (opp Vic Hallams), where there is now a small industrial estate-weekly dances used to be held there.Aunt remembers the house which stood on the site of the "new" legion, but not who lived there-but she knows someone to ask! Another subject-the Erewash Hotel-rumours it was to be turned into flats! Latest rumour -it has been bought by a previous owner of the Crown in Heanor (now "Ce Sera") and is to be renovated and turned into an "old fashioned" pub! Will be worth a visit if that is so! |
