replied on: 9/16/2005 9:41:11 PM I honestly didn't know that buses from Heanor don't run through Marlpool to Nottingham anymore. Pathetic. It sounds like a case of all change at Ilson? Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/16/2005 11:33:05 AM I don't know, Ice. As soon as us ex-pats vacate the area, you let it go to pot. Start a petition in the name of real chips being for sale once again. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/15/2005 10:07:13 AM The Queens Head hasn't changed exterior wise, but it has been an Indian Restaurant for quite a few months-supposedly quite good too. The chip shop on Roper Ave was known as Scotch Corner for at least 15 years -it was run by a Scotsman-and eventually a sign was put up officially calling it Scotch Corner-a really good chippy, but it only opened a few nights a week.It closed a while ago-pizzas and chinese food seem to be more "British" now than the good old chippy. |

replied on: 3/19/2005 1:03:08 PM The shop on the corner of East street and Breach road belonged to a guy called Billy Rice who also sold fish from a mobile trolly.The betting office on Breach rd used to be an electrical shop belonging to the chip shop next door. And the hairdressers that is on the corner of Chapel street and Breach rd used to be an house with an wooden shed round the back which used to double up as a chip shop. |

replied on: 3/18/2005 10:57:42 PM the bakery belonged to someone called "colum bells" (or that is what he called the shop or business), i think that's how you spell it. he used to bake there and sell there. then it went into a spate of decline till some italians bought it. |
