Guest HRHartley Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am wanting to know the history of the house I grew up in before moving to where I am now. From being built to residents up to 1980....who they were and what they did etc. How do I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HRHartley Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Oh the happy days I had growing up there. Would love to know its full history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Built around 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Before 1967 it was part of Derbyshire, therefore consulting those Directories might help. 1968-1971 occupied by Mary Castledine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Not a deal in Kelly's 1912 Derbyshire directory, Manvers Road. Beighton. Burton Jsph.& Sons, grocers. Calladine Ivy (Miss), news agent. Cousins Joe, greengrocer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Often used to store cabbages or coal ... on a more sensible note : Colliery Company houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Not a vast amount going on here in 1902 (published 1905) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 1914, published 1924. Seems to have been a bit more in the way of buildings around ... Difficult to say how lost I am with Beighton ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Often used to store cabbages or coal ... on a more sensible note : Colliery Company houses. Often referred to locally as "pit houses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as lost as I was back in the late 60's, trying to find a fishing pond and finished up in the canteen at Brookhouse Colliery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
