replied on: 9/4/2007 8:26:27 AM Porkpiebaby A bit more info on the Butchers Arms. The landlord in the 40s to early 50s was Mr Wilkinson. When you stand looking at the pub the extension to the right were two houses a family named Farmer lived in the one nearest the pub and a family named Newton lived in the other one,Mr Newton (Joe) used to drive the old steam roller for Heanor council.There were some derelict cottages in what I now assume is a car park. |

THE BUTCHERS ARMS -Hands Road
replied on: 11/23/2007 9:16:57 PM well hello every one!! I am Peter Thextons daughter. affraid i cannot shed any light on the history of the Butchers arms before around 1976 (WHEN I WAS BORN SHHHH) anyway, the memories i have of the place is when we lived upstairs (first floor) there was a door, a door i was not allowed to go through on my own. When i was with my mum and dad sometimes we went through the door, there was a stair case it was dark and gloomy up there and all i can remember is an old iron bed!!! i know that is not of much help but it is one of my memories :o) I must of been down in the cellar, but i have no memories of this, we left the pub when i was 7. I do remember we had a window where kids could come and buy pop, sweets and crisps without coming into the bars. I do have many more personal memories of the place about the animals we had, do any of you remember the geese?? or the 2 german shepards? |
