bearob 2 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Does anyone know where Pennyfeathers used to be, round about 1980? I was studying in the Bonnington Building of the (then) Trent Poly and I know it was only round the corner somewhere. Does anyone know which street it was on. Been to the library today to refresh my memory on some other landmarks in the 1980 Yellow Pages, but forgot to look up Pennyfeathers! Pennyfeathers sold vintage clothing from a very small shop - if anyone could tell me exactly where the shop was I'd be really grateful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Was along Shakespeare St on your left as you walk away from Vic Center...toward the College end...I think where the Barnes Wallis Building is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Does that make it almost visible on the extreme left here? http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM000679&prevUrl= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Maybe...... its possible....was basically the front room of one of those Big Bay Window houses. ( so may have been set back a bit ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Was pennyfeathers next door or very near to the L shaped room ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bearob 2 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Brilliant - thanks for this! I thought it was on Shakespeare St, but I read on one of the threads on here it was Peel st, which totally put me off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think it was on Shakespeare St almost opposite where the Goldsmith Tavern was. (God, the ale was rubbish there) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
