  1. Before I married I was a Miss Pearson. My father was George Pearson (1919 - 1994). He was secretary of the South Notts Hussars Old Comrades Association for many years.

    The second photo of Trinity Square is familiar. The cafe was on the left in a row of shops facing the car entrance to Trinity Square car park.At the Kings Walk end was an art shop, and we think then a newsagents/tobacconists, and the cafe was at the other end. It definitely wasn't a Capuccis or the Toreador. Le Coserie still rings a bell!

    Hello Annie (or should that be Mrs Pearson?)

    Which years are you referring to re: Trinity Square? And which side of Trinity Square?

    Could it be on this side of the Square HERE or more like THIS ONE

  2. can anyone tell me anything about the Pearsons factory in Southwark St?

    Geoge Pearson & Sons on Southwark Street, Basford was started by my ancestors. They were Bleachers & Dyers. I've researched the family back to Andrew Pearson, a bleacher born around 1730. The family also owned Rosebery House,Waterford Street, now a Community Mental Health service.
