smithy266 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I used to go there when there was a severe toilet roll shortage... not to go to the toilet there, to buy toilet rolls. Mid - late 70's? There was another FH's, on Fitzwilliam Street/Gate iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyTup Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Who exactly was Fred Hartley does anyone know, did he ever exist? I thought it was a motor spares shop? There used to be one at Frecheville. Motors and Hartley Did he invent the traffic jam? ---------- Post added 13-03-2013 at 16:36 ---------- Some people have cited Herries Rd opp Bramalls gold shop as the site of the Hillsborough Fred Hartley warehouse in the 70's. Is this correct? Does the building still exist now? What is it used for? or what is the SITE of the old building now occupied by? love your avatar btw. Reminds me of a lovely girl called Gail, from Woodhouse, who I dated many years ago. I had to squint hard to make sure it wasn't her. Then, still unsure, I had to write this.

bullerboY Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Fred Hartley was a good guy whose good name was brought into disrepute by other circumstances.He was a proper motor factor in the old days and his good name was spoilt by bad business practice from other sources.
