 History behind the street/road names
replied on: 4/30/2007 7:08:47 PM

I’ve been told that a row of cottage may have been at the back of the ones on the main road, old footings have been found when work has been done there, but they had not heard of a “Camomile Row”

Just realised I put in the wrong house number! It was 54 not 38.

it is interesting to find out that Heanor High street was once known as Camomile row as I lived at number 38 for the first six years of married life. It was next door to Strongs shoe shop which until recently was a pine furniture shop. I notice it is now for sale by auction. The house that is being worked on was John Worleys butchers who served the locals well for many a year. Dunstans wallpaper shop must have started the top end of the row.

I don’t know but that sounds about right to me, but I know someone that lives in that row of cottages I will ask them and get back to you.

From what Jenny suggests, it sounds like the row from Midland Road (the old shop which is presently being bashed about a bit) up to the jitty which leads to the top of Joan Ave.

Is that right Jenny?

From the map (old and new) I can't actually work out which row of houses this will have been. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks Jennypeg, just trying to locate this for a friend who has come across this name in her family history research.

Camomile Row: On the High St, originally Loscoe Rd, between the entrance to Joan Ave and Midland Rd, still standing.

If you go to page 3 of the Heanor forum there is a whole thread on Sukeys Hollow.

Holbrook Street isn't on the 1901 map, but is well established by the 1916 map, with just a large gap towards Mansfield Road on the right hand side of the street.

With electoral registers, don't forget that they are filled in way in advance - I've already done mine for next year.

And welcome to the site - all contributions are gratefully received, and I hope you can get some questions answered!

So I know why Holbrook Street is so named but does anyone when it came to being? I have evidence that it existed in 1907 but cannot find it in the Electoral Register of the same year or year later.

Presumably the road John Holbrook built off Ray Street was Hill Road. This was the site of the old Commonside pit.


An earlier name for Hill Road (see the 1900 OS map) is Pit Hill Road, so I am fairly certain that this will have been the road donated by John Holbrook.
