Owdtite 2 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Heres a tough one for all of you over a certain age (60+). Has anyone ever heard of a Public House called the "Adelphi"..It was somewhere up near Robin Hoods Chase in St.Anns. I have tried to find any info on the Net but alas,nothing. It was a Shippo's house and my Mother worked there during the war years and my Uncle and Aunt ran it. They moved on to the White Cow in Ilkeston and I can only think it would be in the time when St.Anns was re-developed. My Brother was actually born in the pub and my last memory of it was a Wedding reception of my cousin. Anyone know or heard of it ?? Owdtite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I wonder if it was the nickname of a pub??? There was a pub on St Anns Well Road at the bottom of the Chase, can't recall it's name now, way too long back in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Owdtite 2 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 No it was definately about half way up the chase on the right hand side and the Adelphi was its proper name, I used to walk up there often when I was a wee boy with my Parents. But there is no recollection on the internet. I will look on that old map of Nottm and see if I can locate the name of the Street,I think it was called Abbotsford street actually if I recall. I found the street where my Grandparents lived in St Anns on that wonderful map, Young Street, it brings all the boyhood memories flooding back...Thanks so much to all concerned, you have made one old man very happy!!

Owdtite 2 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well, I said it was a tough one, thanks to the maps on here I have discovered that the Adelphi was in fact on Abbotsford St and on the corner of Whitehead St.Seeing as my Father and his family(he was the youngest of 11 kids) were born and bred in St Ann's I really should know more than I do about the area.I do believe that it was in this pub that my Parents actually met, my Mother moved from Ilkeston to come and work at the Pub for her Aunty. They were married in the church at the bottom of the "Chase" in 1939. I am really surprised that I cant find any info on the Tinternet! Owdtite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hackie 3 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 That name brings back memories. I think there were a lot of Adelphies scattered about. Wasn't there one just over the Trent Bridge? A poky little place, down in a hollow. Probably the Adelphies were a 'chain'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
