Compo 10,328 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Who won ? Apologies - I didn't make it clear: Mr Beefsteak was so close so he takes the trophy :o) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Street directory 1914/15...William Parker Boot and Shoe Maker.115,Union Road. As a point of interest, is that at Glasshouse St end or St Anne's Well Road end? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It was at the St Ann's Well end, 'Old Commercial Square'. The shops either side were Price & Beal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks, I had thought it to be at the Glasshouse Street end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 We may need to have a recount. I found this photo in the book Nottingham 1897-1947 by Douglas Whitworth I've left the entire caption visible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 ARGH! The Evening Post claims it to be Union Road. Might have known it would all go wrong for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 There's no guarantee that "my" book is correct! I know of some captions in some Old Nottingham books that are a bit questionable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 In that case it's Walter Parker 8,Cheapside in the 1894/5 directory. I think his geraniums above the window need watering.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Solved. Here's Cheapside. Look below the words "Boot Maker" and you can see the name board for Parkers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wonder what the meals were like in the dining rooms?...bet they weren't as posh as Boots Cafeteria round the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I concede, Cliff Ton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Ah to go back in time with £1000 in sovereigns and spend it in this shop.It would beat Cash in the Attic. Imagine that place nowadays with no steel grilles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
