frahkn Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Does anyone know what has happened to the chandlery in Dobsons yard in Shardlow (not the one at the marina on the Trent). Has it moved or has it just closed? Thanks. Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 It was taken over by a very pleasant and knowledgeable couple (Mr. & Mrs. Miller perhaps?) in the early 2000s and they revitalised it, but I guess they may now have retired. A visit there, followed by a visit to the canalside antiques centre close by, used to be an enjoyable afternoon out when we lived in the area.

spannerman Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 As far as I remember, Mr Miller was unfortunately taken ill and had to close the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGurl Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 They closed the chandlery awhile ago because Mr Miller had terminal cancer, not heard if he is still around tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
