Jennypeg Researcher	Elmsfield replied on: 7/4/2008 4:15:15 PM Hi there was no garden party at Elmsfield House in 1908 or 1909, Mr John Holbrook was buying a house in 1909 August 20th 1909 Ripley & Heanor News Heanor Property market Mr Sydney Watson, Heanor, offered for sale by public auction, at the Nags Head Hotel Heanor, on Monday evening, several properties. A freehold dwelling-house known as "The Delves" with garden, outbuildings etc, 60, Thorpes Road Heanor (gross annual retal £7.16s), and comprising an area of 300 square yards, was knocked down to Mr John Holbrook for £94. Three freehold messuages, 28,30,and 32, Thorpes Rd Heanor with gardens (gross annual rental £26.17s.4d.) were withdrawn at £301, but was subsequently purchased by Mr. Robt Saxton (Heanor) for £301.10s. Messrs Huish and Robinson,Heanor and Ilkeston, were the acting solicitors. Jenny

Jennypeg Researcher	Elmsfield replied on: 7/3/2008 5:35:39 PM Paul / Ice, Elmsfield House is on the corner of Grace Crescent and Mansfield Rd its facing Mansfield Rd, the road was widened and maybe Grace Crescent was built after the house? We have garden parties for 1910, 1923 and 1924 so maybe if I look at 1909 for land sales or planning permission? What do you think?
paulr This message was updated on 7/3/2008 5:34:26 PM by paulr	Elmsfield replied on: 7/3/2008 3:32:16 PM Ice Sorry I got my Crescent and Avenue mixed up From the same publication a further Garden Party is advertised and reads: Garden Party, Wednesday, June 25th, 1924. In the grounds adjoining Elmsfield House, Heanor (by kind permission of John Holbrook.,Esq) I think the house in question was definitely on the corner of Grace Crescent fronting Mansfield Road Heanor and was once owned by Ernie Slater (Slaters Glass)
Iceboy53	Elmsfield replied on: 7/2/2008 5:55:55 PM so paul..is it saying that elmsfield house in langley mill and not on mansfield road..i think heanor starts after the bus garages or at least my address was heanor when i lived down there.
paulr This message was updated on 7/3/2008 5:32:17 PM by paulr	Elmsfield replied on: 7/2/2008 1:53:55 PM Extract taken from the Langley Mill Primitive Methodist Church record of progress regarding fund raising for payment of the chapel debt: John Holbrook, Esq., Elmsfield House,kindly placed his grounds at our disposal for a garden party, "only on the condition that we ourselves work with the idea of making it a success by our own efforts," and the results of the garden party held on Wednesday, June 20th,1923,quite delighted our host. We were always led to believe that Elmsfield House was on the corner of Grace Crescent.
Jennypeg Researcher	Elmsfield replied on: 7/2/2008 7:16:46 AM 10th April 1913 Heanor Observer Street widening This was a large report and I only copied this part: “The first dangerous position occurs at “The Dene” it is proposed here to set back the wall and palisades in front of Mr Fletchers house, and also to put Mr Holbrook’s new wall at “Elmsfield House” further back, also to take down the stables opposite.” Jenny
