Notts_Landing 6 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hello there fellow Nottinghamites! I was wondering if anyone could tell me some history of a building on the Wells Road named the Victoria Works? My granny remembers the building but can't recall what is was used for etc or the history, so thought I would post here to see if you lot knew owt? Thanks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,079 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Welcome Notts-Landing hope to read your post as I'm a St Ann's girl and lived there from being born, never knew about the victory works. Just show how Nottstalgia is educational to us all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sorry ......correction ! Ignore the bit about United Drug Co being there , I read it wrong ! However did find this advert from January 1937 for Beardalls . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teejay 0 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Could this have been Roberts Windsor Victoria Works Colwick? ( a cosmetics firm I used to visit in school hols with my Dad in the 1960's) We also had a call at Colwick loco sheds - around 1964! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
