replied on: 2/25/2005 11:53:45 PM The Colliers Rest was a small pub on Lacey Fields Road, half way between the Methodist Chapel and the top of Lee Lane. In the late 50's it was run by my friend Peter Ward's dad. They moved there from Sneinton, and Peter had a Sneinton accent, very different to the rest of us. We used to sit in the back inhaling the alcohol fumes way before we were old enough to get a drink in a pub! |

replied on: 4/30/2005 4:27:15 PM Just discovered in 1876 the address of The Arab was listed as Langley Common-so I guess Langley Common later became part of Breach Road.(the landlady at that time was Ann Thornhill-widow-her son Henry was a butcher in Langley for many years) |

replied on: 1/17/2007 1:55:08 PM Hi Suzard, I've just read your article on the subject of the Arab Inn. My dads parents either lived within the Arab inn or nearby. My dads Dad was names George Arthur Tudor(BORN 1907) and his dad was named George, he married a Thornhill. Iknow it was knocked down in the fifties -we used to go and play in the cellars. Do you have any further info on the pub? Regardss, Frank Tudor |

replied on: 1/17/2007 5:27:55 PM kenneth, 1861 census reads Richard Thornhill 56 Ann Thornhill 43 Henry Thornhill 13 Thomas Salisbury brother in law These are part of my family -i have death certs, marriage cert for Henry Thornhill etc They also owned cottages adjoining the pub. Henry became a butcher in Langley, and married Ruth Aram whose parents kept the Colliers Arms derby Rd Ilkeston. They had a son Frank, who in 1902 kept a beer of licence on Nelson St Heanor!!!! Frank, Which George married a Thornhill (do you have her name?) 1881 The Arab was kept by William King and his wife Emma Thornhill The last landlord of the Arab was a Walker -my friend's Grandparents-she has the tankards from the Arab, with the name written on them-and did at one time have some of the pub tables from there.My grandfather used to frequent the pub in the 1920's. Seems the pub was part of the Thornhill family for a long time. |
