83. Army reservists (?) outside the Queens Head. The name over the door says James Gyte. Download a larger (420k image). Phil Tomlinson from Derby has emailed to say: "Just been looking at your web page as part of my family history and was amazed to find a picture of my Great Grandfather James Gyte. He was indeed listed as being the 'Inn Keeper' at the Queens Head in the 1901 Census. This is the only known picture of him,(the tall gentleman in the doorway) also we are fairly confident the old gentleman standing to the right of him is his father Abraham Gyte and one of the Ladies in the upstairs window we suspect will be his wife Elizabeth (Nee Mosley). If anyone else is researching their family history I would be pleased to hear from you if you have any of the following names in your tree. Tomlinson, Mosley or Gyte. Keep up the tremendous work."

93. This and photo 94 were sent to David Hallam in Nottingham in 1954. The gentleman beside the well is David's great-uncle Miah, Nehemiah Doxey who was living with his daughter Clara on Yeoman Street at the time and says David "seemed pleased to find a 14-year old boy who was interested in the process. Uncle Miah lost a leg in the Great War (friendly fire!) and came to Nottingham to have the artificial one fitted visiting my mother's family on this occasion. She said he used his compensation money to start the chip shop on Yeoman Street." (Photograph loaned by Hallam family) Download a larger image |
