Rob Bettridge 2 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 There is something Cliff..it has straps connected to the pavement.. Could have been half inched by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Bettridge 2 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,096 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's probably been removed, and weighed in by gippo's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 2,356 Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,642 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,522 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have a relative who was a Nottingham lace maker and worked for a while in the lace market can’t remember which factory though. He was a bit dismissive of some of the more modern Nottingham lace saying that it wasn’t as it wasn’t made of the right yarn. I have some beautiful lace that he gave me which is wrapped up and kept in a drawer as I don’t have much use for table clothes. Shame really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
