Market Hotel Heanor replied on: 4/17/2004 1:57:38 PM The Market Hotel, or King of Prussia as it was called until the outbreak of World War I, is one of Heanor's oldest buildings, built in front of the old Heanor Hall. I have seen several comments about old tunnels from the pub (the subject is touched on in newsletter 171 of the History Society) but the general consensus seems to be that they are a myth - if you know otherwise, I'd be extremely grateful for any information. Certainly, a tunnel as far as Codnor Castle (which is the main story I'm aware of) would have taken a mammoth feat of engineering, bearing in mind that both Heanor and Codnor are on hills with a valley between them! I haven't come across any ghost story involving the Market Hotel - the town's most renown ghosted story, that of Francis Tantum, does involve a pub, the "Admiral Rodney", which was almost certainly the Crown Inn. If your research is succesful, I'm sure the History Society would like to include some of your work either in one of their newsletters or on their website. If there's anything specific you think we could help with, please get in touch. Good luck!
