replied on: 3/30/2008 5:02:14 PM I think the house is still there, on Mansfield Road - will have to check since I've just bought the card! |

replied on: 3/30/2008 9:19:55 PM 5th Nov 1926 R/H INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS AT HEANOR FIRE BRIGADE HONOUR LATE CAPTAIN An interesting event took place at Heanor Fire Station on Tuesday evening when practically the full complement of members throughout the area were each presented by their late captain, Mr John Holbrook, J.P. with a large size photograph of the Brigade, taken at his residence, Elmsfield House, on Aug 24th last, on the occasion of his resigning the position in favour of Mr Archer, the new surveyor to the Council. 7th Feb 1930 R/H Imposing Funeral at Heanor The Late Mr. John Holbrook J.P. The esteem in which the late Mr John Holbrook, J.P., of Elmsfield House, Heanor, was held was clearly manifested on Friday, when the remains were conveyed to their last resting-place in the Cemetery of the town of his birth and life-long residence. |

replied on: 4/2/2008 12:58:53 PM Its not on Mansfield Road - the house we were thinking of is called Ashtrees or something like that. Then on the way home it struck me as blindingly obvious as to where it is/was! Elmsfield Avenue!!!! I have confirmed this from the Origin of Heanor Street Names, but need to call in next time I'm in the area to check whether it is still there and try to get an up to date photo to match the postcard. John Holbrook was the surveyor for the Butterley Company and also for the Urban District Council. I am sure that the description 'architect' would fit him just as well. |
