    NLPP57-1
    Looking North along Nutley Lane, with Colley Hill in the background. The building to the immediate right was the Prince of Wales, now number 32 (see that property for more details). You can see the barber's pole sticking out from No.40.(Sheilah and Ron Thornhill)

    NLPP105-5
    This is Wickens yard, at rear of Nutley Lane. The two brothers who owned it at this time were Leonard (my Grandfather) and George. They had inherited it from their father who had originally run the horse-drawn bus service from there, and also I believe a butchers shop in Nutley Lane itself.(Matthew Wickens)

    NLPP106-5
    This is Wickens yard, at rear of Nutley Lane. The two brothers who owned it at this time were Leonard (my Grandfather) and George (pictured). They had inherited it from their father who had originally run the horse-drawn (Omni)bus service from there.(Matthew Wickens)

    NLPP60-15
    Taken in the snow 15th January 1985, looking north towards the hills.(Sheilah and Ron Thornhill)

    NLPP61-20
    The winter of 1963 was a very bad one; this photo was taken on New Year's Day in 1963. The man is shovelling snow from in front of the shops at Ion Place (38-42) and is underneath the sign for the Hairdresser. Behind that can bee seen the sign for the Prince of Wales and over the road is the Co-op (No.13).(Sheilah and Ron Thornhill)

    NLPP50-25
    View of Ion Place (No's 38 to 42) when they were still shops.

    Notice the distinct lack of cars.(General Knowledge)

    NLPP53-60
    This is the view looking north from near the bottom of Nutley Lane. The houses on the right were knocked down; where they stood is now the car park and Nutley Court.

    This photo is from old cine film. Burnley Video Productions (BVP) are converting these onto video in the same way that they have done for 'From the Archives', which contains footage of Reigate and Redhill 1926-1935.

    Wickens Yard

    The Wickens Yard, which used to be in the area behind the houses, which are currently numbered 13-35, was used for a number of purposes. The Wickens brothers kept pigs, cockrells and geese in the yard and at some stage ran a bus company (horse-drawn buses), a house clearing business and a slaughter yard from there.

    Rolling Car Damages Wall

    Sheilah has lived in Nutley Lane for all of her life and can remember playing in Nutley Grove. Her father, Tom, was a hairdresser at No. 40. Sheilah remembers that a car once rolled back down Nutley Grove and crashed into the stone wall opposite, which is why a part of the wall is concrete, whereas all the rest is stone.

    Air Attack!

    Margaret's sister lived at at No.3 Nutley Lane from 1937 to 2001. Margaret recounted how during the war, in a daylight air raid, a German plane machine-gunned along the back gardens of that side of the road while her sister crouched in the hallway. Bullet holes were later found in the back door frame!

    Truancy and The Education Act

    Taken from the Surrey Mirror dated 24th May 1884.

    THE EDUCATION ACT

    '... The Mayor remarked that a great deal of exertion had been made in the Borough recently to provide schools where the children of their poorer neighbours could be properly educated, and the least parents could do was to avail themselves of the opportunity which was thus afforded to them for obtaining the education which was calculated to make their children good members of society, and would enable them to get a better living than they could otherwise possibly obtain. Parents should certainly see that their children attended regularly; it was a very small thing for the Bench to exact from them, but it was a great boon to the parents to have an opportunity of sending their children to a school where they could obtain good education at a low price. The Magistrates were bound to carry out the law, and it was impossible for the Bench to pass over these freat derelictions of duty without inflicting penalties. Fines varying from 2s. 6d. to 5s. were imposed in the following cases for similar offences:- ... Mary Ann Haybittle, Nutley Lane; ... Emma Tate, Nutley Lane; George Peacock, Nutley Lane; ...'
