Admin History	The firm of J.T. Robson is recorded in the 1912 Kelly's directory for Nottingham as being at 160 Derby Road (there is no mention of the firm in the 1910 Directory). The firm is classified in the directories as a dispensing chemist and probably took the form of a walk-in shop. It was known in the 1920s as The Park Pharmacy. The firm of J.T. Robson appears at the same address in the Yellow Pages telephone directory for 1983 but not in the 1985 edition. John Thomas Robson, who was master of pharmaceutical studies, was probably the founder of the firm.
