Mill Street and Aked's Yard, Sutton in Ashfield

Mill Street
Sutton in Ashfield
England

This was formerly know as Starch Yard, after a small Starch manufactory which had premises here. It's name was changed to Aked's Yard, reflecting the owner of the property, Mr John Aked. Mr Aked owned a grocery store on King Street, and used buildings in the yard to bag his flour and to shed his delivery van. Mr and Mrs Aked later moved to Carrington (when in their 80's).
