replied on: 4/28/2007 8:10:23 AM From the map (old and new) I can't actually work out which row of houses this will have been. Any ideas anyone? |

replied on: 4/28/2007 8:34:29 AM From what Jenny suggests, it sounds like the row from Midland Road (the old shop which is presently being bashed about a bit) up to the jitty which leads to the top of Joan Ave. Is that right Jenny? |

replied on: 4/30/2007 9:12:44 AM it is interesting to find out that Heanor High street was once known as Camomile row as I lived at number 38 for the first six years of married life. It was next door to Strongs shoe shop which until recently was a pine furniture shop. I notice it is now for sale by auction. The house that is being worked on was John Worleys butchers who served the locals well for many a year. Dunstans wallpaper shop must have started the top end of the row. |

replied on: 4/30/2007 7:08:47 PM I’ve been told that a row of cottage may have been at the back of the ones on the main road, old footings have been found when work has been done there, but they had not heard of a “Camomile Row” Jenny |
