Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I don't recall Heasons, I lived on Kirke-White Street for a while, I remember Len Ellingsworth, used to walk to work with him when I was an apprentice on nights at Clifton Colliery. I lived for a time in Ryehill Cottages when I first got married until relocation when the Meadows were being redeveloped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TGC 216 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I had a Saturday morning job at Heasons Sir. Sorting the waste out, not in the shop. Do you recall Sandersons Tripe and cowheel shop on Arkwright Street? The Pawnbrokers shop always fascinated me, I don't know why, we never used it. And the large Toy shop further towards Trent Bridge on the right - where I bought my model air-plane kits (Air-Fix?) and 2d lucky bags. Thanks for the memory prompting Sir.
