frontcentre	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 2/21/2006 2:45:43 PM I too have fond memories of the sweet shop in the hut. My grandmother lived on Ella Bank and I used to get sweets after walking through Sukeys Hollow from Heanor. That path used to make the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
sampll	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 2/20/2006 9:45:05 PM The house I'm trying to find out about stands at the top of Ella Bank. If you're coming up Ella Bank, its just on the left of the footpath which goes through to the rec and Marlpool Church. Suky's Hollow is onthe opposite side of the road. Hope this helps!

Iceboy53	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 2/20/2006 6:39:21 PM the house you refer to did used to do piano lessons i think..er was it mrs platt next to the lane and if you went up the lane you came to shipley colliery mens club at the top.
sampll	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 2/20/2006 5:42:26 PM I remember the little wooden shop too, used to buy sherbert fountains there most Saturdays. Does anyone remember the house across the road from the shop which used to be a club? Not sure what kind of club but I remember my mum telling me that her dad was the steward there at one time. Maybe its the same place where you had piano lessons?
RNewman	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 1/25/2006 6:44:13 PM I used to visit the little wooden shop at the top of Sukey's hollow every Saturday after piano lessons at Mrs Platts across the road. I believe that the man who ran it was some relation to the people who owned the bungelow behind while I was waiting for my sister to finish her lesson.
Azzabuv	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 9/17/2005 12:14:59 PM Thanks for the c.1896 Map input, Ice. The empty ground space which was to become 'Shanakeil', awaits the then future arrival of our good Irish Doctor - Doctor Eames. Azzabuv.

Iceboy53	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 9/13/2005 6:08:44 PM how many kbs is it azza,maybe i could crop it and put it on.
Azzabuv	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 9/11/2005 1:13:26 PM I could crop one out, Ice, but has anyone got the transferal memory space to play with? Azzabuv.

Azzabuv This message was updated on 9/10/2005 5:33:59 PM by Azzabuv	Sukey's Hollow replied on: 9/10/2005 5:27:23 PM This is an eye-witness account of the Hollow of c.1910, 95 years ago, as given by Mr. Philip Eggleshaw in the very first edition of the Society's new Newsletter of January, 1970. <><><> It was always called Sukey's Hole and it started at Sye Lane by the side of the old stone-built Church Institute, now demolished. It was a gated road, leading to two fields and to a cottage with another wheeled access to these properties. The first gate was at the entrance from Sye Lane and the second at the end of a walled garden belonging to Ray Cottage, both gates had slip styles; the path then carried on past the Rectory wall which was built of furnace clinker. I think this showed the connection between the Church and the Butterley Company, for Canon Corfield's brother was Mining Agent to the company. There was a small gate in this wall leading to the Rectory and just beyond that was the cottage which was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Parkin, who were the grandparents of the Bryan Family, some of whom still live in Heanor. There was a third gate against the cottage with a clapper gate at the side. In the hedge belonging to this cottage, was a stone post about eighteen inches high inscribed on the side 'EMM' and opposite 'B.Co'. The path then went steeply downhill and reached its lowest point at Sukey's Hole Pond, where there was a climb stile and a bridge. It then carried on up hill past the allotments on the right and passing the Old Mill House on the left, before terminating on Mill Road at Marlpool. <><><> Azzabuv.

But then again, perhaps not................ It appears they must only name them after various trees. Azzabuv.
