They didn't take over the site until the late 80s/early 90s. Trumans were there until they merged with mitchell around 1970 they then moved to Derby Road corner of triumph road .my dad brought a austin westminster from there .then in 1976 I started my apprenticeship with them .in 1979 they sold out to Mann Egerton .I left in 1980 because they were shit to work for after working for Derek truman .then moved to henlys at Colwick. .

Chulla 4,946 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 #25. Pleased to hear that teak round tables and sideboards are back in fashion. We still have our teak round table and sideboard, bought in the 1970s from Pearson Brothers. Our sofa was from Hopewells. Buy good stuff and you will never get tired of it.
