  • Local Businesses – Large and Small
    Local Businesses – Large and Small The details of the local businesses documented below have been researched by the Local History Group. Thomas Glover & Son Thomas Glover & Son, elastic web and fabric manufacturers appeared in the Post Office Directory for Nottinghamshire in 1855. The company is recorded as having several addresses in Nottingham, however it had disappeared from the directory by 1900, returning in 1925 described as a surgical hosier in Chesterfield Street, Carlton. The firm remained at that address until the 1970s. The company’s buildings were on both sides of Chesterfield Street but are now demolished, new houses being built on the side. Turney Brothers In 1861 two brothers, Edward and John Turney built a tannery and began to make leather on a site next to the River Trent and the adjacent canal in Nottingham, known as Sneinton Island. The first buildings took up only a fraction of the space that by the 1920s had developed into a large site with labour-saving machinery imported from many countries. They traded under the name of Turney Brothers and had offices in London, Leicester and Manchester. Edward left some years after the commencement of the company and the driving force was John Turney who was in sole charge for over a quarter of a century. In 1888 the company re-organised into a Limited Company, John being chairman. John led an exceptionally distinguished social, political and commercial life. He was a member of Nottingham Corporation for 46 years, and became Sheriff and then Alderman in 1879 and Mayor for two years 1886 – 1888.
