replied on: 9/25/2005 4:38:47 PM Not same area, but still shops in Heanor Ripley and Heanor news Mar 11th 1940 "Sewing machine Repair Services, Birks, Red Lion Square Heanor." There is still a similar type of shop on Red Lion Square today-maybe the same shop as advertised in 1940??? |

replied on: 9/25/2005 9:56:40 PM Gaunts did sell artists materials. 18 May 1951 Ripley and Heanor "Lancaster and Thorpe Opticians 35 Market Street heanor Tel Langley Mill 47 Established 1887" I remember going there for my first "specs" Ripley and Heanor July 31st 1959 "Sketchley New 4 Day Cleaning Service, 24 Market St Heanor" Majority of ads in Ripley and Heanor are for shops in Ripley!!!! |

replied on: 9/28/2005 2:03:39 PM Good pic Iceboy, hopefully it will jog a few memories. On the Market place (1950/60's was Butts Sweet shop /cigarette shop-I think there is still a cigarette/sweet shop there. I remember buying Cherry Lips and Midget Gems from there on my way to school-they were small enough to eat in class! They used to have a glass jar on the counter full of extra long cigarettes which you could buy in ones-I can't remember what they were called-never bought one!!! Started smoking with Park Drives-(one cigarette between 3 of us!!!) Butts also sold packs of 5 cigarettes(Park Drive and Woodbines) |

replied on: 9/28/2005 5:34:15 PM You're right, Ice. I'm getting confused with these two similar threads on the go at the same time. I remember Gaunts - didn't they also used to sell rail tickets? |
