  1. Folks: Problem part solved. I have located references to a "Twig Alley, Woolpack Lane". The first is in "The stranger's guide through the town of Nottingham", written in 1827. The second is in a transcription of another book: "The history of Nottingham, embracing its antiquities, trade, and manufactures, from the earliest authentic records, to the present period", written in 1815. 1. https://books.google.com.au/books?id=-4MHAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA106&lpg=PA106&dq="twig+alley"+nottingham&source=bl&ots=oXh4Z134Uh&sig=ACfU3U3Om6rujYlvCMCj
  2. Thanks TBI. I hadn't thought of "Jurys Alley," but was going along the lines of "Twyg Alley". In any case, neither Jurys not Twyg come up in any searches. (The Jurys Inn chain started in Belfast in 1997, so no clues from that name!). I was hoping that someone here would have an old map or list of Alley names that would give this one away). Does "Fountain Place" mean anything to the Nottstalgians amongst you? .... PS - here a screenshot containing some writing in the same hand: 'Joseph'. So I'm afraid that the first letter of the street name isn't a 'J'. Thnx.
  3. I'm new to the forum, and hope this is the correct place to put my question. I am trying to decipher the name of an alley on an 1841 census image. The other names on the same page are Woolpack Lane and Fountain Place. Any ideas? Grateful for your thoughts!
