replied on: 9/22/2006 10:52:25 PM According to the society book on street names Bakers Lane This is an old name for the lane that links Mill Lane and Hillcrest Drive. It could be a family name or a corruption of the bakehouse as one was situated almost opposite Mill Lane. Sue |

replied on: 10/10/2006 1:48:39 PM A friend remembers a bakery in that area during the 1940-50's. It was on the corner of Mill Lane and Wright Street-the entrance to the living accomodation being on Wright St and the bakery entrance being on Mill Lane. It was opposite the LordByron P.H. (now flats-called Byron Court) and opposite (mill Lane) the Miners Arms. On the site of (and adjoining) the old bakery on Mill Lane and Wright St are newish bungalows and the old bakery building no longer exists. |

replied on: 5/19/2008 2:57:27 PM Dear all I can confirm that the building on bakers lane did used to be a bakery and was also the site of a windmill. (hence Mill lane). My wife lived there for many years during the 70s and 80s when it was a grocers then later Derbyshire Electronic Services (D.E.S.)Television shop. There used to be a trapdoor in the upstairs room to lower bags of flour down into the carts below. I found alot of old codds bottles buried in the garden when I was digging one day, They had Heanor names on them. I still have them in my collection. There was also another bakery on the corner of mill lane and wright street. This was in use during the 40s & 50s. I think a Mrs Flinders lived there. Later purchased by Mr Tissington who sold it as building land for the current bungalows. Regards Stuart |
