Wright's 46 Main Street

Witnessing 2017 conversion of twinned shops facing Main Street into apartments can recognise final sale of family properties that historically claimed Wright's Yard address. Farmer Robert Wright acquired a large corner plot prior him opening a Workpeoples Inn on bottom end Harper Lane. Building Harper Terrace housing stretching behind asserted Wright's Yard area. Selling off the pub plus a compulsory demolition to enable widening the 1960's Chesterfield Road left this family home with butcher shop frontage.

Oldest view reveals common original use of an upper floor loading door on one side. A lean to addition on other side cornering into Pilsworth Yard dates 1945 where J Martin repaired boots. That furthermore also modestly next homed a related Bradshaw family.

Business premises remained little changed since brothers Edward and George were remembered individually selling pork and beef through adjoining windows. Kath Wright took over the butchers trade, until 2003 retirement devoted time caring for a frail mother.

Rear dwelling rooms could no doubt have afforded all the modern lifestyle comforts, after privately walling off this premised left a shared driveway through the breweries Workpeoples car park. The pub enjoyed a 2003 revamp, timely showing original home farm outbuildings that still stand unused far beyond 2011 pub closure. That ultimately saw rapid transformation into a handy Tesco store.

Casually noting 2013 sale can only presume Kath was independently seeking a more manageable retirement home. Earliest signs of change became apparent into 2016. Building work could only suggest this property was following trends for flat conversion.

Apartment blocks might be more fitting description for division into unknown internal layouts. Presenting a cleaner looking exterior soon found first numbered front door identifying newest 2017 occupation of 46 Main Street address, plus rear separations.
