Rob Bettridge 2 Report post Posted October 20, 2016 It's close to the wall, as I remember, and about 3 inches wide by about 12 feet long but it's been a long time since I saw it last. I suspect that it may still be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob Bettridge 2 Report post Posted October 27, 2016 Nope... I couldn't find it either on Broadway using that Maps Link. Surely there is someone who knows of it, where it is or If, Why and How could it have been allowed to be removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IAN123. 4,298 Report post Posted March 14 Does anyone recall Boneham & Turner? I dated a Daughter of the boss in the 80's...nearly went down the aisle. Best place for a Clevis Pin. Peveril might know 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 1,196 Report post Posted March 14 Ian, I knew Boneham and Turner very well, that imposing factory façade was on Nottingham Road as you headed out of Mansfield towards Nottingham. Famous for their precision engineered drill and jig bushes, dowel pins, clamping and locating components. I had many mates that worked there and this year they have been in business for 100 years. I believe that they are now located in Sutton in Ashfield. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 1,196 Report post Posted March 15 55 minutes ago, plantfit said: "British jobs for British workers" we'll not see their like again unfortunately Unfortunately too true and in that era they were probably made on British made machine tools such as Ward Capstan and Turret lathes, Archdale drills and mills, James Butler slotters, Churchill or Jones and Shipman cylindrical and surface grinders. Dean, Smith and Grace centre lathes, Newall jig borers, J. Parkinson (Parkson) milling machines. For Ian123 they are on Oddicroft Industrial Estate in Sutton in Ashfield 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 529 Report post Posted March 15 Anyone recall printers called Priestl(e)y & Swan(n). It was behind Peter's church - quite a large firm, apparently. My dad worked there in the '50's - early '60's until he was diagnosed as being allergic to printing ink. I remember he used to bring home conkers in the autumn picked up from the churchyard.

It must have been a bugger to wheel that trolley on the uneven flagstone floor. Was it Duke Street in Mansfield? If so it was one of many streets demolished when they put in the inner ring road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 4,298 Report post Posted March 15 Yes Oz..duh! I never thought about the inner ring rd. My family on my Fathers side has connections with this area ..woodhouse and Eaves. I will try and dig some more stuff up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
