The rooms were used at the time of local elections and the my mother's family ran the club for about eight years around 1921. Her father was Edward Cheetham she had two brothers Fred and John and a sister Nell. Fred Cheetham played in the cricket team for Heanor. Mum had a great aunt who owned the Red Lion called Hickling. As children both mum (Winnie) and her sister remember the large billard tables in the upstairs rooms. They have also spoken about a time when the Empire put on plays and recall the artists putting on their stage make up in the Liberal Club, one being a gent called Cecil Berle. Another separate link are memories of Elliots fish and chip shop, a wonderful hat shop owned by ?Nellie Outram, and a dress shop owned by two sisters. We also have links with Langley Mill where my father was born, Wilfred Marriott; his father was Richard Marriott who worked at Lovatt's pottery."
