suzard Researcher This message was updated on 1/17/2007 5:30:53 PM by suzard	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 1/17/2007 5:27:55 PM kenneth, 1861 census reads Richard Thornhill 56 Ann Thornhill 43 Henry Thornhill 13 Thomas Salisbury brother in law These are part of my family -i have death certs, marriage cert for Henry Thornhill etc They also owned cottages adjoining the pub. Henry became a butcher in Langley, and married Ruth Aram whose parents kept the Colliers Arms derby Rd Ilkeston. They had a son Frank, who in 1902 kept a beer of licence on Nelson St Heanor!!!! Frank, Which George married a Thornhill (do you have her name?) 1881 The Arab was kept by William King and his wife Emma Thornhill The last landlord of the Arab was a Walker -my friend's Grandparents-she has the tankards from the Arab, with the name written on them-and did at one time have some of the pub tables from there.My grandfather used to frequent the pub in the 1920's. Seems the pub was part of the Thornhill family for a long time.
knarf1234	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 1/17/2007 1:55:08 PM Hi Suzard, I've just read your article on the subject of the Arab Inn. My dads parents either lived within the Arab inn or nearby. My dads Dad was names George Arthur Tudor(BORN 1907) and his dad was named George, he married a Thornhill. Iknow it was knocked down in the fifties -we used to go and play in the cellars. Do you have any further info on the pub? Regardss, Frank Tudor

suzard Researcher	Colliers Rest replied on: 4/30/2005 4:27:15 PM Just discovered in 1876 the address of The Arab was listed as Langley Common-so I guess Langley Common later became part of Breach Road.(the landlady at that time was Ann Thornhill-widow-her son Henry was a butcher in Langley for many years)
bobbrown	Colliers Rest replied on: 2/27/2005 9:09:06 PM No idea - I left the area in 1975 and have only been back once!
RMMee Moderator	Colliers Rest replied on: 2/26/2005 12:40:30 AM Any idea when it closed down?
bobbrown	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 2/25/2005 11:53:45 PM The Colliers Rest was a small pub on Lacey Fields Road, half way between the Methodist Chapel and the top of Lee Lane. In the late 50's it was run by my friend Peter Ward's dad. They moved there from Sneinton, and Peter had a Sneinton accent, very different to the rest of us. We used to sit in the back inhaling the alcohol fumes way before we were old enough to get a drink in a pub!
RMMee Moderator	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 2/23/2005 4:48:33 PM It never does to miss a pub! I have seen the Colliers Rest in documents, but I don't think I've ever seen a photo of it.
Peter Chamberlain Researcher	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 2/23/2005 7:37:47 AM Pub we seem to have missed at Langley The Colliers Rest, situated left of Lacey Fields Road Between Breach Road and Lea Lane.
suzard Researcher	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 1/17/2005 1:21:58 PM Got the aerial shot of site of Arab-many thanks-visited site at weekend-it is basically just a gap and part of a wall of the old building still stands-wonder who owns it and why nothing has been done with it? It looks like they knocked it down and then lost interest!
bobbrown	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 1/4/2005 4:11:28 PM I used to live on Kew Crescent - opposite where the Arab was - between 1947 and 1966. Where the Arab had been there was waste land, and on this was a chip shop in a sort of tin hut if I remember correctly! That would have been in the late forties/ early fifties. The post office was higher up Breach Road, on the corner of Clara Mount Road, where Marlpool Boys School was. In the early fifties, practically no-one had a car, and the queue for the E8/A8 bus which turned in Kew Crescent seemed to stretch forever!
RMMee Moderator	The Arab Inn, Langley replied on: 1/3/2005 7:16:11 PM This copy of the 1900 OS map shows exactly where the Arab Inn was, bottom of Breach Road just up from the junction with Laceyfields Road. I'm sure there was, or maybe still is, a post office at the bottom of Breach Road.
