Hoonaloon 1 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, Does anyone recall what sort of shops have been at 81 Mundella Road please and who ran them please? I'm doing my family tree and have discovered relatives living at this address and nearby and also running a shop, possibly a grocers or 'corner shop' somewhere in the Meadows. Names I have are Annie Osmond and Edmund Carnell. Any information gratefully received. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 It is now a hairdressers at the corner of Bathley street. I remember it late sixties as I used to pass it on my way to school. It used to be a general store selling food and sweets amongst small household things, don't remember who worked in it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 You may already know some of this, but I'll do it anyway. 81 Mundella Road still exists, and is clearly still a shop on a corner. What years are you referring to ? In a directory for 1915, the occupant of 81 Mundella Rd is George Wilson, shopkeeper. For the other names you mention, in 1916 Edmund Carnell lived at 55 Beauvale Road which is close by. And a James Henry Osmond lived at 33 Beauvale Road. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,674 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Between Nov 1936 and May 1939 an Annie E. Osmond appears to have held the licence for a beer off at 24 East Lamartine Street . Doc True 24, East Lamartine-street, from Percy Smith to Annie E. Osmond 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 In 1963 I lived at 90 Holgate Road. I bought a tin of Tarentella tomatoes from there, on the way back I lost a ten bob note and got in trouble with me mam! If anyone found a ten bob note in that area, its mine.

AnthonyP 0 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The shop owner was a Mrs ? Jollife. Could buy soda pop from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 You'd need a few ten bob notes for a tin of Tarantella's these days... Jolliffes, yes I remember the shop name now. I can picture the lady who ran it during the mid-60s, always slightly flustered when us Mundellans used to descend. However, apparently one of our member's parents lived there 1920s ... post #43 below https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/14387-kinglake-street/?page=2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to get dragged out by mam to carry her shopping bag up Arky, I remember Marsdens, was it opposite Tophams the newsagent. But I can also remember a grocers shop opposite St Saviours, big bacon slicer, cheese cut with a wire, chaps in Granville coats. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yes ben, I remember just a bit down opposite from Blacknells. Certainly some great gels from Medders. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I can't remember Marsdens, Fine Fare was on Arky. The one opposite St Saviors was Wise Buys. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Marsdens I think was a bit further along from the later Fine Fare on the corner, den. I'm talking early sixties for the other one, might have been a Co-op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
