replied on: 1/22/2007 6:38:03 PM There were 2 Lomax shops in red lion square, not related as far as I know. One was cigs and sweets etc. the other was grocery in the same premises as Bagnalls then Cresswells. Up until I left Heanor around 1960 it had always been grocery so I don't know what happened after that. Bagnalls also ran a grocers shop in Wirksworth. I'm afraid I don't know about the motor bike shop except for Humphrey's just above the Empire. |

replied on: 1/23/2007 5:01:15 PM ice, Can't quite remember when,must have been the early 50s. But in those days it was only about half the size as later on they knocked into next door which used to be Taylor's corn stores. |
