  1. Maybe this would be better viewing . Just put on youtube by NFFC Leeds 3 Forest 7 from 2012 .
  2. After a quick initial look an't see anything of the dust up , using the address and the names but there is a death notice for Louisa at that address . At the moment the online news archives for the Nottingham papers only go up to 1950. JESSIMAN. —On March 28th. Louisa Ellen beloved wife the late Jack , Reunited . Son Charlie Joan. Alan and Keith. Cremation Wilford Hill. Friday. 11.20 m. _ JESSIMAN.—March 28th Louisa Ellen (Nellie) of 30 Nuthall-road , late Skegness...dear sister of Annie and Ada , brother in law Albert . 29 March 1950 - Nottingham Evening Post - Nottingham,
  3. Considering how they wrote Whose Bridge instead of Ouse Bridge you may be right . I thought Moor Road may have been whats now Conway Road . Maybe some surnames will be on the following 1881 Census still in the same house as 10 years previous . Edit : A few of the names on the 1871 Census appear on the 1881 Census on Netherfield Lane .Ouse Bridge is spelt correctly . Netherfield Lane follows Station Lane and there's mention of Fox and Hounds pub with the Railway Stationmaster next to that if that helps .
  4. Looking on the 1871 Census , the preceding road appears to be Front Street and before that "Whose Bridge" (which I assume is Ousebridge) especially as The Royal Oak pub is listed there ? The road after Moor Lane is Station Lane . We need a map expert !
  5. In 1918 , Hart and Co , Mineral Waters Co were at Golden Eagle Works , Bloomsgrove St. No idea where that is but probably a different place .
  6. Unfortunately to read the old news archives you will need a subscription . This is one source https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ you can search it and it will give results but to read the articles you have to pay . I should clarify that Tom Browne certainly worked for Grover and Black at their earlier premises on Wollaton St . Indeed when he was successful in London he called his property Wollaton House . There appears to have been an acrimonious split at some point between Grover and Black and there was a court case to determine who Tom Browne was actually
  7. As it's now an artists studio you may be interested that the well known artist Tom Browne 1870-1910 , worked for Grover and Black as a lithographer before heading off to London to work . The Johnnie Walker Whisky logo character was his work . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Browne_(illustrator)
  8. Just looking at old adverts for staff the earliest I can see is around 1885 when it was a printers called Grover and Black . After that , just Grover and Co at the Eagle Printing Works . 1905 a firm of trimming manufacturers called Palmer and Mycroft were there. 1920s up to1950 and probably beyond it was Cooper and Roe knitwear co that occupied Eagle Works . Edit : Still there in 1976 (though given a spelling error) https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm019037/posterid/ntgm019037.html I don't know the building but
  9. Now I know where I saw it before , in fact even provided some news clips about him . https://m.facebook.com/story/graphql_permalink/?graphql_id=UzpfSTEwMDAyNDY3MzUxOTQwOTpWSzo4Nzg5MTM3MzkxOTA4MTc%3D
  10. Thanks for posting . Interesting and a similar story to Herbert Kilpin . I have read his before and remember the part about the watch and how his Italian colleagues thought he had died on the War . This looks like your video on Mr Goodley's travels and I'm sure our expert map guru will be interested how this video was done .
  11. CT , I did hesitate linking to her photo , , maybe for that reason you should edit the link out of my post above ( if that's possible) .
  12. A reverse search of "Ms Burtons" image indeed gives a picture of a year 4 teacher . Different name though ! Wonder why Coventry kids would be interested in a Nottingham suburb project ?
  13. The O.P. of this request appears to make a habit of asking about random locations and in 50% of the cases never comes back to comment . Odd !
  14. Ted Stevenson who sent the photo lived in Perth , Australia. Just checked on the Gedling Facebook page and he died not that long after sending the school photos .
  15. Thanks for the corrections Brian . Thought Nriggs was an unusual name ! If my memory is correct I posted this photo on behalf of Ted Stevenson who provided these names . Though I was a couple of years younger than this class , some of the surnames are familiar .....they may have had younger siblings . Detheridge and Hicking were names in our year and maybe Chamberlain .
  16. PTP may also be wrong about the artist Reuben Bussey. On the 1881 Census he is indeed living at number 44 Park St but if the house in the picture is number 46 , they've got the wrong place !
  17. Thanks CT now I get it , thanks Picture the Past have the numbers wrong in both pictures . To prove the point an estate agent called A.Bush and Son were advertising at 46 Park St up to 1929 . 1930 onward they gave 96 , Friar Lane as their address (property in 2nd pic). 1950 it was Harwood and Walter's Estate Agent.
  18. I can't make out the numbering between the change from Park Street to an elongated Friar Lane . According to Picture The Past , Lewitts Picture Framers with the bow fronted windows was originally 27 Park Street (now 100 Friar Lane) yet the property next door was number 44 Park St ? (now 96 Friar Lane) . How was 27 Park Street next to number 44 in the old numbering ? Looking at the first picture below , the shop behind the black limo today is the Robin Hood shop , so wouldn't it have been 42 Park Street if they were numbered evens on one side or 43 , if numbered i
  19. Looking on streetview those properties do look like they would have been houses originally .
  20. Going to be very difficult to trace what was in the building prior to 1929 . I believe where number 94 Friar Lane is today , used to be called Park St . In 1929 there were some road improvements and the two roads were combined into a longer Friar Lane and the street re-numbered . According to the news archives , after that date these businesses get a mention at that property. 1934 Florence Vann Modes were there through to 1939. Selling dresses and coats etc . The firm was liquidated in 1940. Also giving that address at the same time
  21. Only disappointment is that Nottstalgia didn't get a credit for identifying Herbert's correct birthplace !
  22. To celebrate the 150th birthday of Herbert Kilpin the makers of the film The Lord of Milan are giving a free viewing weekend https://vimeo.com/386993166 Watching it now and there is quite a bit of lace market history at the beginning . Also a segment with Mark Hateley
  23. Angela may not see this but can be found on the Facebook page "Gedling Village Local History and Preservation" Look for the name Angela Keyworth she is a regular contributor there with tales of the Godfrey family . https://m.facebook.com/groups/1908689169455273?group_view_referrer=profile_browser
  24. Before it was made into shops you can just see the top of the Villas and when they still had garden walls . https://picturethepast.org.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/dchq503337/posterid/dchq503337.html There were two Hitching deaths in 1915 in Basford district (in which Gedling comes under at that time ) but they were in different quarters . John Wilson Hitching aged 0 died April/May or June Qtr 1915 Ada Lily Hitching aged 27 died July/Aug/Sept Qtr 1915
  25. Brilliant CT . Also shown are the Conway and Chesterfield Villas as mentioned on the 1911 Census . By a weird coincidence I know that Wool shop and the accommodation above . My girlfriend at school in the 60s lived there !
