littlebro 234 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 During the late 60's into the 70's it was used by Notts Tyre Rebuilders Ltd, they supplied retreaded and bandag tyres. They did major repairs to commercial vehicle tyres. I think the business was owned by Bill Lamb They closed in April 1974. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlebro 234 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 The Vauxhall dealer was Oscroft's, later to be WASS (Wallace Arnold Sales and Service and ultimately traded as Trust Motors. They moved to Lenton Lane early 80's. The car park to the west was the used-car display. In the NTR days the entrance was under the tower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
