Hi and welcome to TM
I used to live and work in and around Ilkeston before I got made redundant back in 1991
I lived in Bramcote before moving to West Hallam.
I used to work for Beauvale Furnishings on Hallam Fields road. I thought I'd have a quick look on Google maps - street view and I notice it has changed its name to Belfield Furnishings.
Ahhhh ...... memories
Anyway .... less waffle - welcome to TM and and any questions - feel free to ask.
