Jack Brentnall died in 1988 His shop ran by his wife Anne till 1999 when it closed, Anne died in 2011
Jack specialised in Classical Instruments., and when Rock Music amplification systems came in, he refused to stock the equipment, letting Fox Instruments to gain ground; and conversely for Brentnall’s to wane.....
Jacks shop in Nottingham opened initially in the 1940s Previous years in Nottingham, the shop which sold records aswell as instruments was located in Central City Street.

I do t think the County Hotel was empty in 1968 as I remember going in there and I only moved to Mottingham in 1969. I also recall Jack Brentnall’s music shop just up the road.
