saw119 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 A thread about the Wicker Karate rooms and the factories on Sheldon Row has popped up on another forum I post on. Anyone on here have pictures or information, with the building of Derek Dooley Way and the redevolopment on the Wicker it's almost unrecognisable from when I was younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnm Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 My Uncle Harry Moore worked at John Hutchinson's Pet Shop from around 1952. John Hutchinson was a friend of his & persuaded him to leave his job as a lorry driver with the Railways. It was probably a bad move as John Hutchinson eventually closed the shop about 1980. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanstav Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Forgive me if this has been answered previously. On bus journeys under the Wicker Arches my Grandad used to tell me about both the 'bomb hole' & the metal 'T' on the opposite side of the arch in the picture attached. He used to say that the 'T' marks the height of the flood water of the Great Flood of 1864. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go to the shop in the 70's. They had lot of tropical fish stuff and tanks at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hodgkinson Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thank you for everyone who has posted information about the Wicker on this forum. It contributed a lot of information into my research on understanding the transformation The Wicker has gone through since 1850 till present day. I hope you all enjoy reading my map I have created :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
