Thanks for that - it's No 20 Trusthorpe Road, Somewhere in Trusthorpe Road was a National Children's Home, The NCH in Nottingham was Springfield in Alexandra Park, the gift of Sir Arthur Black - who also left his Nottingham home to the charity. Kelly's 1930 lists Sir Arthur - a lace manufacturer, JP MP Mayor Sherriff - in Sutton on Sea at a house called 'Hatley' [http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=21417323&sale=52791792&country=england] Interestingly, Lady Black is listed separately in S-on-S

The only pictures are in my head, https://picturethepast.org.uk/image-library/image-details/poster/ntgm001706/posterid/ntgm001706.html is the reality. Trafalgar Terrace, or a part of it nos 2-12, was built by my great-grandfather (1852 -1908), I was always told as housing for John Player and Sons' workers. The 1901 census has him, his wife and his 23 year-old son living at 68 Trafalgar Street. He died aged 56 at Chapel St Leonards, his widow also dying there some 14 years later, in a house that he also built. All his property passed to his only s

and Dagmar Grove is but a stone's throw from the The Crescent, Alexandra Park, where stood/stands "Springfield" which was donated to the National Children's Homes charity by 'Sir Arthur Black, a local lace manufacturer and Member of Parliament'. There was also a NCH in Sutton-on-Sea; Kelly's 1922 also has Black, Sir Arthur as a resident of S-o-S, as a holiday home no doubt.

Thanks for that, Wiki has Gleave in Henry Road, Bridgford 'by 1901', Charles Henry Calvert, son of Arthur Richard Calvert, is in partnership with Gleave in the 20s the Low Pavement address is used by Charles Henry as witness on my house deed in 1926. Arthur Richard Calvert is listed in Kelly's directories throughout the 1920s as being resident here at 'Linksholme', Sandilands, despite him dying in 1922, I guess Charles Henry kept it on until it was sold at Easter 1931. I can't identify 'Linksholme', but it sold for £680, at the same sale a t

DavidW - thanks for your help, its Richard William Gleave who is of interest to me, and his partnership with Arthur Richard Calvert. both your Wiki link and http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=206874 suggest Joseph Lee Gleave wasn't his son, I guess the Evening Post may be wrong in JLG's Nottm connection.

Margie - you're quite right, the one at the top of Westdale Lane was Silsdon's or Selsdon's or something like that; it opened in the 2nd half of the 50s. I remember being a little taken aback to hear that Dr Foy listened to Radio Luxembourg - I didn't expect frivolity from such a pillar of society,

Thanks the son architect was Charles Henry Calvert (1887-1958) who'd be 37 in 1924 "Signed sealed and delivered by the aforementioned Mary Catherine Jones in the presence of Charles Henry Calvert, Architect, 18 Low Pavement, Nottingham" 24th March 1926 Quadring is a fair way away, but not to far from the route Nottingham to Sutton on Sea via Grantham.

I've stumbled across this site by chance, I am researching architects from Nottingham in the 20s who may well have been active here, between Skegness and Mablethorpe, in the 20s They were Calvert Jessop and Gleave although there were many other formulation of the partnerships, there were 2 generations of Calvert, one witnessed a signature on the deeds when my house was first sold in 1926. I know of two listed buildings by them, one is the war memorial at the top of Woodthorpe Drive, the other is a parade of shops in Daybrook opposite Home Brewery.
