Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Was that the one on Derby Road, opposite Hand and Heart? It closed down as Ocean City, but is currently being re-fitted to open as something else (saw the name but can't remember it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Looked better as the undertakers. Not sure that Ocean City was ever an undertakers; that was this place https://maps.google....=12,233.75,,0,0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 AH ...i thought you meant the place with the big arched windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've a feeling Ocean City used to be at the same premises as The Ropewalk/funeral directors previously? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Maybe the name/location moved around a bit. This is the one I was thinking of (which has now closed down and currently has the builders in) https://maps.google....,351.55,,0,4.62 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Certainly yes, opposite side to The Hand and Heart. Have a strong feeling though that Ocean City was at those former funeral directors originally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I thought so....but hey i'm easy to confuse...lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Going back to the original post, the former Ocean City - opposite the Hand and Heart - has now reopened after its refit. Drove past there a few days ago. Unfortunately I can't remember its new name Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Didn't the premises next door used to be Lipman's, the bridal shop? As a bridesmaid in 1979, my dress came from there. Mrs Lipman's husband was a solicitor with an office in Nottingham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
