Who was Albert Atkey?
Albert Reuben Atkey was a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom.
At the 1918 general election, standing as a Coalition Conservative, he was elected as Member of Parliament for the new Nottingham Central constituency. At the 1922 election, he lost the seat by a majority of only 22 votes to the Liberal Party candidate, Reginald Berkeley. He stood again in 1923, but Berkeley was returned with a majority of 1,805, and Atkey did not stand for Parliament again. Instead he concentrated on local politics and became Lord Mayor of Nottingham in 1928. His term of office will perhaps best be remembered for the opening of Nottingham Council House by the Prince of Wales on 22 May 1929. Atkey was a prominent businessman and founded A.R. Atkey Ltd the first motor traders in Nottingham. He was knighted in 1935.
