[Daybrook/Arnold History 200 years ago...]

Fascinating to read. My ancestor William Horton first shows up at cottage row on the 1841 census. The hortons were there until it was knocked down with Bertha and Alice in the 60s

I wonder if were related. My great x 4 grandfather was a Mr Thomas Horton of Arnold born in 1828, and his parents were John Horton and Jane Fletcher

Hiya Guys. Just wondering if anyone from carlton, netherfield, gedling area can remember this house. It was owner by the godfrey family (of which my Great Great Grandmother, Harriet Godfrey was a member of). As far as i was told by my grandad his aunty lived there up untill the 1960's when she died and the building was left deriicted up untill it was demolished in the late 90's. I remember going past it all the time as a child and into my teens but unfortunatly never got the chance to have a look inside.

[old netherfield]

My Great Great Grandparents Arthur and Harriet Peck lived at 5 Locomotive Terrence which i believe was right next to the sheds. He worked at colowick depot as a railway wagon repair. His son, my great grandad Ernest also worked at the depot. I have alot of netherfield in me! I was born on Midland Road, oposite carlton station and lived on Harrogate street in the house my other great grandparents brought in 1939. My dad was born and lived for his first 5 years on deabill street, my grandad was born on dunstan street and him and my grandma were married at what was the methodist church on ashwell street ( I still have her wedding dress complete with the veil and accesories.) Granted im a lot younger than most people on this forum, but i would LOVE to be able to go back to Netherfield and see it in its hayday.

[Great Northern Station?]

There was:

Nottingham Victoria, Nottingham Midland, Nottingham London Road High Level, Nottingham London Road Low Level and Nottingham Arkwright Street. There was another station on Carrington Street, which was the predesessor to the midland station. and as so only last around 10 years before demolition aroind 1869ish. That is now the site of the magistrate courts i believe, and The two gatepost are from when the station was built.
