Simon Hooley

Hi there, the site is technically called the Bay of Biscay for some reason! the bench was dedicated to my grandfather and grandmother born in 1902 and 1904 respectively. My grandfather set up Hooleys of Nottingham in the 20s and my father then took over. I own that little park now alongside my brother and hope to come to an agreement with the Park Estate soon to take it on and keep it open to the public (and looked after)

Hi All, Just stumbled upon this. My grandfather set up Hooleys garage back in the 20s then my father took over. Would love to chat with some of you to know more about it and your experiences! I'm in my 30s so don't have many recollections beyond doing my homework in my Dad's office (there was a ships wheel outside I seem to remember that would be pushed to full power when there were sales coming in). I also remember a revolving turntable in the front of the showroom which provided me endless fun as a young boy. Its been a while since this thread was last posted to but
