Hi Robert,
So we had the “Crystal Palace” at Marlpool and the “Winter Gardens” at Langley Mill!
Also an item about the Iron Works.

RIPLEY AND HEANOR
18th October 1895
TRAP ACCIDENT – On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Henry Tinsley a traveller for Mr. J. Robinson, of the Home Brewery, Daybrook, whilst soliciting orders at the Winter Gardens, Anchor Inn, Langley Mill, occupied by Mr. George Bell, left his horse and trap close to the house, which is in close proximity to the river Erewash. Suddenly the horse was startled by the noise of a wheelbarrow, and bolted along the canal side, becoming entangled in the harness, was drowned before assistance could be obtained. The animal was a valuable one.

RIPLEY AND HEANOR
18TH OCTOBER 1895
Opening of Iron Works
The old Langley Mill engineering Company’s works, which for the past six years have been in a dormant state, have recently been thoroughly renovated and fully equipped for the manufacture of stove – grates, etc, by a well-known firm from Derby. The opening up of a new branch of business of this kind will be of great benefit to the district, as upward of 130 hands are employed.
