There used to be a cycle shop at 36 Meadow rd until recently run by Henry Lloyd.

 

There is apparently nothing you can't find on Picture the Past.

Bought a lot of parts and got good advice from Henry Lloyd in the early 60s.  He was a good guy.

There is one thing you can't find on picture the past, a photograph of Palm Street or Palm Villas. All that they have is waste ground and a lamp post.  I have tried every avenue (including yourself) and nothing comes up.   As has been said before on this forum if Cliff Ton can't find it, it aint there.    Gem

I'm interested in the history of Curzon st the shops that once stood there back in the day can anyone help please ,? 

[loppylugs 8,172]

I had a pal that lived on Curzon Street in the 50s.  I don't recall any stores along the street, just at the intersection with Victoria rd. 

 

There was Read's bike shop on that corner. He entually grew pretty big and took up quite a few of the shops there.  Across the street from him was a small grocery shop if I remember rightly.  Most of the shops were on Victoria road.

Strange co-incidence ,  whilst having a coffee in our local Wetherspoons 2 days ago , got talking to a couple we have known by sight for many years , . They were customers in our old shop and since retirement often bump into them on days out etc.

Turns out that the chaps mum was a land girl during the war and was sent to Cornwall to work and when he found out we were Nott'm born told us his mum had lived on Carlton Hill . She married a Cornish man and never went back 

From the info he gave , I worked out that in 1939 , her family were actually living on Standhill Road .  Her dad was a manager at Wrights and Dobsons dyers , Carlton Road . 

However before that , her grand-parents lived on Curzon Street , Netherfield , number 78 in 1901 and number 193 in 1911 .

 Leaving myself open to puns here but the family name was quite unusual .....so ...... anyone know any Parrotts from Carlton/Netherfield ?

     In 1901 a H Parrott was a church warden at St Georges church Netherfield. Still there 1914.

Thanks. Just got looking at a load of pictures and saw one of Matlock Street where I think that shop was.
