jenniek 1 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have a friend who lives in a flat on Hockleys Yard, Heathcoat Street. She remembers the flat being part of a jazz club in the seventies/eighties. It still has the original wood floor covered with stiletto marks. Can anyone remember the name please? I have searched the internet and can't find anything. Thanks very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I can't remember the exact name of the place, but it's probably the same place where I attended the Sunday night folk sessions in the mid 60's. Someone will come up with something soon Jen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 It may also depend on how you spell Heathcote. This is Heathcote Buildings on Heathcoat Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 David, your brother maybe knows my nephew Matt Palmer who plays reeds with The Eagle Jazz Band. I'll try to remember to ask him tomorrow if he recalls the club on Heathcote St, if not my brother may have an idea as Matt didn't start playing that early. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Having posed the question to the fount of all knowledge on the Nottingham jazz scene, my brother, he also cannot recall any jazz venue in that area so the consensus is that there was no such club or if there were then it must have been very exclusive! David, my brother and nephew wonder if they would know your brother , as it is a pretty tight community and most folk are known to each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I've repeated a post from a few years ago Commo. The Trevor Jones Jazz Band at the Manchester University Ball in 1960 .

It's not easy to find exactly where Hockley's Yard is. It's the entrance gateway between these two buildings, near the Parliament Street end of Heathcoat Street, so the jazz club was in one of the two buildings either side. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenniek 1 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 That is exactly the place! It is the entrance next to the white door. The area used to be known as Hockley's court and she remembers going there in the early eighties. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 https://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/details/photos/36141479 Images show a couple of views in the yard. There are at least 6 flats now, one above the shop most in the rear buildings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
