  4. Garden Street area - Radford

    in Old Radford

    Posted

    Rarely visit this site but like to now and then.  Does anybody remember a nursery of sort on Highurst Street.  I was born on Bentick Road opposite the Ukranian Club and attended some such place in the early fifties but remember nothing.  Moved to Forest Road East in 1954 and am very interested in this part of Nottingham as it used to be.  I believe Jill and Cliff Ton may help.

    Know what you mean Waddo but back in the day this area was referred to as Sandfield and quite a select area in which to live.  Not sure that the High Schools would be situated in this vicinity had they have known how it is today not to mention the wonderful houses and  two parks etc. Time waits for no man as they say.  Any one got a spare screw for my Tardis - Wilko's is shut !

    At last!   My 'Tardis' broke down and had to walk all the way back.  I love this website but am fumbling and f*rting  about too much.  Does the Arboretum crowd still meet up - I seem to recollect that they did once a year or so.  Also, could do with lessons on competence re. website usage. Don't understand this third party business for photo displays.

    Think there was an Off Licence top of Sherwood St called Reeves and another further up just past the Jewish cemetery 

    Two paper shops, wireless shop, Saracens Head and Sir Charles Napier, stamp Shop on Forest Road East.

    I lived on Colville Street and there was a bonfire in November outside a small WI building

    Very interested in more photos of this area  

    Thanks in anticipation for response

  14. School on Highurst Street

    The 1954 map shows a building situated in the middle of Highurst St, Althorpe St, Montford St and Greek Street.  The only wording is Nursery School.  Apparently, before around 1945,  Fairfield St ran right across it from Highurst St to Montford St. Still trying to find out more about Radford Local History Society.  The archivist retired some years ago but they must still meet up some place some time ? Anybody know anything about the crowd that meet up and exchange memories regarding the Arboretum ?

  18. Bring back any memories?
