Thanks for the information, Robert. It may be Post WW1 as you say, but the only period i do actually know about is from approximately the mid 1920s to the late -30s. It seems to get more and more intriguing date-wise.

I can't actually help you, but would suggest that the name of the house dates it as being post WWI.

Certainly, Berle Avenue in Heanor, which I assume takes its name from the same person, was named after Cecil Berle, a local theatrical celebrity who specialised in Shakespearen type roles and who often could be seen wearing a large hat and a cloak. He did charity shows during the First World War, which is what makes me suspect that the house name is later than that.

Unlocated 1920s to 1930s postal address - 'Berle House, Heanor Rd; Smalley'.

Does anyone have an idea where the above address may have been situated in Smalley?
