replied on: 9/30/2005 6:50:12 PM No, I didn't have that - many thanks, especially for the closure date. I have seen Derbyshire Police records for pubs in Langley Mill, but the New Inn isn't there - as it was, only just, on the Nottinghamshire side of the Erewash. |

replied on: 10/3/2005 2:33:53 PM Hi Robert, A bit more info on the New Inn, Eastwood & Kimberley 10th March 1939 NEW INN, EASTWOOD POLICE OPPOSE RENEWEL OF LICENCE An objection to the renewal of the licence of the New Inn, Eastwood, was made by Supt. F. Rodgers, who said that the premises were unsuitable, and that the place was not required, having regard to the needs of the neighbourhood. Sergt. Wayte said the New Inn was a fully licensed house. The tenant was Thomas Bryan Standall, who had held the licence since April 1929; the owners were Messrs Hanson’s Kimberley Brewery. The house was old, and was situated in an occupation Lane, 110 yards from the main road. There were four drinking rooms, which were in good condition, and a billiards room (unused), but there were no sanitary arrangements. The tenant was compelled to use the bottle store as a pantry, and to carry food across the yard. The river Erewash ran through the back, and when it rose the cellar flooded. In addition to the New Inn, there were in Eastwood 11 public houses, four beer-houses, and 11 beer-offs, and at Langley Mill, five public houses one beer-house and three beer-offs. There appeared to be a good trade each Saturday and Sunday, but a small trade on other days. Owing to its situation the house was difficult of police supervision. Mr. N. Hanson mentioned the difficulties to drainage etc. They were always desirous of co-operating with the justices, but were always sorry to lose a Licence. Mr. Standall said he was bound to say that the house was not fit to live in, but it was his living gone. The matter was referred to the Compensation Authority, and the Licence provisionally renewed. EASTWOOD & KIMBERLEY 21ST July 1939 LANGLEY MILL INN TO CLOSE WHY LICENCE RENEWAL WAS REFUSED. DRAINAGE DIFFICULTIES. The Notts Licensing Justices at a meeting at the Nottinghamshire Hall on Tuesday refused the renewal of the licence of the New Inn, Eastwood, but announced that the tenant would carry on pending the settlement of the question of compensation. Ald. S. H. Clay presided, and objection to the renewal of the Licence was made on the grounds of redundancy. The Clerk (Mr. K. T. Meaby) said that the New Inn was an old house. The tenant was Thomas Brown Standall, (Bryan?) and the owners Messrs Hansons Ltd, Kimberley. P.s. Wayte, of Eastwood, said that in Eastwood there were 11 public house, four beer-houses and 11 beer-offs, and in Langley Mill there were five public houses, one bear-house (yes bear-house), and three beer-offs. There was a good trade at the New Inn on Saturdays and Sundays, but a small trade during the rest of the week. The house was difficult for police supervision, and compared unfavourably with other houses in the locality. The population was chiefly working-class and the needs of the neighbourhood could be met by existing facilities without inconvenience to the residents. The sanitation was not satisfactory the outbuildings were dilapidated, and the property was subject to flooding. There were 11 ½ acres of land to the house, and on that land were caravans without proper sanitation. Mr. N. Hanson, for the owners, said his clients did not oppose the application as strongly as normally, because the justices might well wish to reduce the number of licences in that district and they were desirous of co-operating with them. They were sorry to lose the house, but the difficulty was that it seemed impossible to equip it with proper drainage. It was below the level of the drainage systems in the district. Mr. Standall said it appeared that he alone would suffer. He had made a good living there for ten years. He agreed that the sanitary arrangements were not what he would like them to be. Jenny |

replied on: 10/4/2005 7:14:58 AM Hi Robert, I’ve got a file with a few newspaper cuttings in! All of my families lived in the area so what ever year I look at I find something plus I look for Loscoe/Heanor/ Langley Mill History and sometimes I spot names that’s on the site and I make a note of them, but the last report (Mr. Standall’s death) gave us the year to look at, so finding the closure was easy.

replied on: 11/12/2005 8:44:11 AM Info received from a reader of the main site - can anyone elaborate? "The Erewash Hotel is currently being refurbished. After removing all the wall paper in the lounge, 2 pictures were found painted on to the walls. Both the pictures are of women in bathing costumes. Can you help with any information about the date or the artist of these pictures?" |

replied on: 11/13/2005 9:13:42 PM I don't know anything at all about the paintings, but have some info about a local artist who may possibly have been the artist. Edith May Harriman (known as May) b.1904 Station Road Langley Mill was a very talented artist/milliner/pianist. Apart from painting on canvas, she used "unusual" bases. She painted in oil on soft furnishings, dresses, all kinds of things. She lived on Station Road until after her marriage to Lawrence Statham. She was also a talented pianist-and played piano in public houses. She (along with her husband) eventually kept a pub -The Railway at Long Eaton,(1930's to possibly 50's or even later). Thought I would mention this due to her "pub" and artistic connections and living near to the Erewash. If it is dicovered that she is the artist , then I guess the paintings would have been done in the late 20's or mid 30's. This is only an idea -the paintings could of course have been done at a much later date. Are the paintings to be preserved? |

replied on: 11/14/2005 6:26:00 AM Brilliant information Sue - I've never heard of her before. I've started a new topic, specifically on May Harriman, in the hope that more information may come to light about her. I have forwarded what you have posted to my original enquirer - I don't know whether he is connected with the pub or the refurbishment in any way. I don't know what plans they have in relation to the pictures - hopefully he will get back to me. (I have, of course, already asked if there are any photos!) |

replied on: 2/23/2006 2:47:17 PM Russell Quite correct about Kranks,I beleive it was opened under this name by Glazebrooks,and afterwards when it closed the same people used the premises for retailing a portable gas heater which they manufactured in premises near the Shipley Boat pub. Paul. |
