Re posting images, you need to sign up to a free (at the moment) image host site like Imgur or Flickr or similar, then up load images to there and copy the link it creates to post on forums etc.
Is it the same as this low res one?

I've alerted Jannine Tanner, who runs F-B Nottm Railways Remembered and is active with Nottingham history, particularly Long Stairs.
She was already aware of some documents but had been unable to contact anyone with any detailed info about their future, she's on the case.

In answer to an earlier question, yes one of them did.

Yes by Cavan and Gordon aka Cavco / Pickering Investments.
I live in a Cavco built house.

It's had a few names or variations of names, just some,
It's also changed ownership a few times.
It was built as the Savoy.
It was the Nottingham Moathouse in the 90's
It's been the Park Inn
It's currently signed Mercure Hotel but is actually the Mercure Nottingham Sherwood Hotel

It wasn't Las Palmas so must have been Queens, or Kingfisher or something else, on a corner I think.
This thread has drifted off Hatters, so the title may need an adjustment,, -
I only remember the shop opposite the Greyhound as a shoe shop in the late 50's on, untill it was converted back to a chip shop maybe in the late 70's, by a Greek (maybe Cypriot) couple, the wife worked with my Mother and the husband Chris worked in the very popular chip shop on Mansfield Road opposite York house. (name escapes me)
Not many people new it had previously been a chippy.

Bridge viewed in 2009, it seems to have been refaced between 2012 and 2014
On Britain from above dated 1932 there's an earlier smaller bridge possibly only for pipework / services set back from where the one above is, before the buildings at the front were replaced,

Yes Home Brewery had their own borehole as I suspect all breweries did / do.
A good few years ago a group of H-B employees on the tanker delivered beer thought they'd found a foolproof way of making a few extra pounds by selling extra for cash to the first pub on their round, then topping up with tap water.
Unfortunately for them the tap water had chlorine in it and was eventaully detected at the subsequent pubs.

Radfordee,
The map was published 1901.
On the link below if you are on a P.C or tablet, (don't think you'll see it on a phone) if you use the slider bottom left you can overlay the modern layout of the area.
If the Help box comes up, click the X top right to get rid of it.

I found a job advert in a Lace factory with the address of Adcocks Yard, so I'd guess 1 of the 3 Lace factories in the picture.
Possibly the houses marked green as they have access to the factory yard.
Alfreton Rd bottom left corner.
Forest Rd top left corner

Park Place (most likely Dob Park Place) was roughly where Gayhurst Road is now.
There appears to to a pair of houses, the white ones, which were probably on Park Place still left amongst modern housing.

B-K.
I moved where I am in 88 (off Hucknall Rd) and had the testing for a few years, usually Friday afternoon.
Update, long after,
The final test of an aircraft engine on the site took place on Monday 25 February 2008.

I recently paid £89.60 for a pair of wide and deep fit shoes, not designer looking just plain, the most I've ever spent on shoes,, ever.
And £99 for custom made support insoles, but used in any /all my shoes.

The only ladies hairdresser I can remember on Front St was the far end towards Coppice upstairs close to Lenton and Wilkinson Electrical.
Others seemed to be scattered about amongst housing, like the one on the corner of Acton / Furlong St, still there today, Hair 21
My Mother used to go to Stanley Dennis ? Daybrook or Stanley Barber ? in the City.

I went to Keiths barbers on Hallams Lane in what was the old sweet shop and before that when he was on Front street where (the original) Fine Fare was built, later Wilkos.
Definitely a dapper man probably RAF.

HEY ARNOLD,,
The Westminster Bank / builders was Thomas they had a showroom with merchants at the back and also built houses around Arnold.
Thomas also built the garage and shops at the far end of Front st / Coppice road corner and ran the garage.
Think there were 2 Thomas brothers. (T & T ?)
Shoe shop nearby, now a chip shop.
Arcadia sweet shop next the the Bonnington cinema.
The Bakers were called Sulleys.
I delivered papers for Lodge newsagents (64-67) (formerley Bagelleys?) next door.
Jewellers
Jeans wool shop.
Elvins Greengrocer
Pet shop
Anthony hardware
Boots on the corner (later became Wilson Travel) opposite Ebenezer church.
Opposaite Lodge was Watsons newsagent.
Chambers Pork butchers nearby, owned by 2 brothers, still there today except their bakery / prep area is just down the road from where I live now. Not the Bulwell Chambers, tho' maybe distant related.

Hey Arnold
If you've got a high res copy of the map then please post it, the copy I've got was just a photo someone somewhere took and posted.
I can't remember where it came from.
Leapool cottages I suspect were where the Filling staion / Restaurant are now.
In the 60's I remember it as Hawkers Garage (one of the daughters was same year as me at Arnold High, the other was a couple of years younger)
That was demolished in favour of the filling station but was probably built on the site of the cottages.
Old map showing unnamed cottages overlaid with modern layout.
I'd guess there was a Blacksmith in one of the houses / buildings which later developed into a repair garage.
Blacksmiths were quite often on the edge of villages and ended up as garages / petrol, stations.
The other cottages were probably agricultural workers.
No overlay,
Finally a Poor quality image of the old building
