replied on: 2/21/2006 5:31:52 PM There used to be a jeweller between Woolworths and Fords, I believe. Actually bought my first gold necklace there. Still have it. Anybody have any info on Cox Builders down the street behind the Empire - yes I know that is long gone. Saw my first film there. |

replied on: 2/21/2006 5:31:59 PM Gaunt's used to have two places. One on Godfrey St just below the bank, I think thats where they did their printing. The other was a newsagents the other side of the gap at the side of the Town Hall. On the opposite side of the road on the corner of the market,the shop used to be a mens shop. I think it was Harrimans. That was in the early 40s. Later on it was taken over by a chap named Barks who used to play for one of the Nottingham football teams. I think I've got that right. frano |

replied on: 2/23/2006 8:44:32 PM What was the chippy in Red Lion Sq called. Near the bus stop, across the street from the Empire? There also used to be some sort of garden/seed/fertilizer place up from Red Lion Sq. Bulk stuff in big open bags. Another Flog Shop up there too. The ?insurance place now below Woolys used to be a cafe? Across the little street from where the Empire was. The window curved around the corner. |

replied on: 3/3/2006 7:17:23 PM FC The only chip shop down that end that I can think of was Hubbards. About 50 yards down High St. Would the seed shop be Taylors corn store about opposite Boams garage? |
