Heanor's America
posted on: 11/26/2004 9:41:55 PM

Does anyone know where this area/location was in 1887 Heanor? Or it's modern name if it still exists?
It's mentioned briefly in the Society's Newsletter number 2 - March 1970.

It would originally appear to have been somewhere near the Park St; - Nelson St; area.

Perhaps after all's said and done, i've actually been to America and didn't know it!

Azzabuv,
I think you will have visited America!
Excerpt from Jennypeg's excellent article on Tag Hill-
"New America is the triangle formed by Wellington Street, Watkinson Street and Loscoe Road.

Of course, Suzard. Why didn't we think of it?
Turn the triangler shaped area made by the three streets upside down on the old maps and you have a rough outline of the USA. Another long ago Heanor mystery solved - now there's just the others which are mentioned in Jennypeg's article. Grist for the mill?
