Rainworth, Notts
« on: Sunday 10 May 09 18:06 UTC (UK) »

I lived in Rainworth as a child, but am interested in knowing if anyone remembers the area in 1955/56?  My grandad lived at Sherwood Industries Settlement and worked as a furniture polisher. He had come over from Sweden a few years earlier, but we know nothing about his life before marriage (he married in 1956), as his identification was destroyed, sadly. Is anyone familiar with the SIS or does anyone know someone who worked/lived there?

Hi,
You could try contacting the local studies library at Mansfield to see if they have any information:

If not, you could try posting on this site - I've never used it personally, but it might bear fruit.

The Nottingham evening Post produces a magazine called 'Bygones' which has articles on Nottinghamshire nostalgia, etc - you could contact them to ask if they could include your question:

Hope this helps a little - good luck.
