Compo 10,328 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 During the 1960s (possibly also 50s & 70s) there was a pet shop.......... but was it on Kings Walk or Trinity Walk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Trinity Walk.................The Pet Centre. Picture on the PTP site under Trinity Walk. However.....there was only one good pet centre to buy your dogs from and that was Trevart Kennels in Radcliffe on Trent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks Cliff,formerly New Yard! Those new units never really took off. I'd forgotten about the cafe..seem to remember another cafe next to Lunn poly up the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think so Katy at the bottom of Kings Walk- became an ice cream parlour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 The place gets mentioned in several threads but we haven't had a photo of it yet. This is old and new. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
