On the left of the map there is a school, any idea what it was called ? Phill

Thanks Cliff, you've done it again. I'd just like to thank you and everyone else on here for their help, I've pobably past close to these places over the years on my visits to Nottingham without realising how close I was to where my relatives lived. Many Thanks Phill

Does anyone know where these two Streets were in Nottingham ? Allport Street, U.S.D. is where my Grandmother was born in 1891, I have been told that USD was the local health center of the time where births took place amongst many other things. I assume that it has now long since dissapeared when the slum clearances took place, but it would be nice to locate where it was on a modern map. Derwent Street was / is somwhere in South East Nottingham according to the 1911 census, if anyone has any idea where these two streets were, I would be very grateful. Many Thanks Phill

Elgin Street looks like it had back to back houses in it,or high density housing so was probably overdue demolition, great maps though, looks like annesley street was a good move at the time. phill

Thanks Cliff Many thanks, I have been looking for quite a while now, I thought I might have to wait untill i visited Nottingham library to locate them. I suppose they were cleared like Birmingham, to make way for modern tower blocks that they are now pulling down again to rebuild traditional houses. Funny how we go round in circles, phill

Hi everyone, I saw your forum on the net and wondered if anyone on here could help me find Elgin Street or Annesley Street in Nottingham. I assume that they no longer exist as I cannot find them on any maps that I have of Nottingham, although I have seen them indexed on a map of 1920. My Grandmother lived in these streets between 1891 - 1901 and I have tried to locate them on various maps over the years without success. If anyone could tell me where they were so I could transfer their location onto my map of Nottingham, I would be very grateful. Many Thanks, Phill
