David, Until the enclosure act of 1844 the route into Nottingham via the "flood R

It was all due to the Corporation refusing to enclose some of the "common land" surrounding the town till 1844.

I have large scale maps of most of Carlton/Gedling area, dates Early 1950s to late 1960s House numbers, Public Houses & other features are all included on the maps. But I don't have Gedling School.

I often use "City Transport"(South Notts) to get into Town & find the half hourly service very good. And free to me as I have a bus pass

Incidently on both those certificates my Grandfather , who died way before I was born , was shown as being a Cinematograph Operator . Would have loved to have known where he worked . Could have been the pictures on Station Road The cinemas of Carlton have been discussed in an earlier thread.

I think Carlton Road becomes Carlton Hill at the city boundary. Carlton Hill is numbered from Post Office Square Fearns being number 170.

My mother worked at uncle Doug's shop for a few years up to 1964 when my sister was born Uncle Doug was my Mother's brother in law.

Uncle Doug started "business" by selling firewood(in bundles @ 6d) & timber & lived on Carlton hill till about the mid 60s He then built a bungalow on Cavendish Avenue. I don't know when the shop on Westdale Lane opened but it was before I left junior school in 1960. For the last 20 years or so his life of uncle Doug lived in Rolleston

As the Jaybirds became TYA with a change of drummer Ric Lee(no relation) I think it must have been some other group that was your worst? The Jaybirds used to practice(sometimes) in a house on Rufford Avenue which ran off the top of Welbeck Avenue.
