Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I remember that building. Got quite a shock a few years ago to find it had gone and been replaced by housing. Did it have any connection with Pretty Polly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I was doing my searches often the quortex, Mansfield hosiery mill across from Sutton road primary and pretty polly in Sutton were often confused with each other. Not sure about any business links sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 No problem. I just thought I recalled seeing the Pretty Polly logo outside that building opposite the John Cockle...bottom of Skegby Lane? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No Jill, Pretty Polly was on Unwin Road Sutton in Ashfield. Closed in 2005, alas long gone, now a Lidl and housing. even the Masons Arms (The Elbow) at the end of Unwin Rd looks as if it is closed for good. They say Lidl will employ 40 people, Pretty Polly employed a thousand! The flat earth economists and joe public have a lot of blame associated with the demise of UK industry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
