My husband remembers Alcock and Sissons Yard in the place as described by PaulR-he used to play in the yard as a child. Tom Whittamores butchers was demolished to make way for the new road-making Johnsons newsagents now on the corner. There was a stone masons on Barber Street (which runs parallell to Nottingham Rd) which we thought was Holbrooks. A few houses down Barber St is a cul de sac which backed on to Alcock and Sissons -and there was a "walk way" to the builders yard. Maybe Holbrooks moved to Barber St -or maybe the address was Nottingham Rd . We think the building on Barber St which housed the stone masons is still there -will check in the next couple of days.
