I remember the little wooden shop too, used to buy sherbert fountains there most Saturdays.

Does anyone remember the house across the road from the shop which used to be a club? Not sure what kind of club but I remember my mum telling me that her dad was the steward there at one time.

Maybe its the same place where you had piano lessons?

I'm afraid (showing my age!) that you've lost me. Where were these buildings in relation to present day streets, etc?

The house I'm trying to find out about stands at the top of Ella Bank. If you're coming up Ella Bank, its just on the left of the footpath which goes through to the rec and Marlpool Church.

Suky's Hollow is onthe opposite side of the road.

Hope this helps!

I too have fond memories of the sweet shop in the hut. My grandmother lived on Ella Bank and I used to get sweets after walking through Sukeys Hollow from Heanor. That path used to make the hair on the back of my neck stand up!

I've found two references to it, but neither as Sukey's hollow.

They both refer to "Sulkey's Hole", the earliest and article from The Derby Mercury December 28, 1887 refers to Sulkey's Hole as being part of a large body of water called "pondwell" (as above).

The second, the life story of a Heanor man refers to it in 1914 in which he states that it was a large body of stagnant water and that the hole part was on old mine shaft recorded at 300 ft deep.

Both references are in relation to children drowning in Sukey's Hole.

Perhaps then Sukey was the name/nickname of the mine owner, and later as the "hole" was filled in (presuming that it is not still there) the surrounding area had the name adapted?

I'm a bit confused here as it's years since I walked that way.
When you walk straight along the path that starts into the park from Ilkeston road, and walk passed Kelvingrove dr surgery, straight on until you come out the park - is that anything to do with sukies hollow, or leads to it?
I remember going to a smallish pond near that end of the park when I was little. My parents said it was an old mine shaft and very deep, don't know if it was true or not. But the pond I'm on about I think is still there but it has been modernised. I saw a photo of it on the Derbyshire net pages a few weeks back. The description sort of tied in with what Tempus said
