Hi all Well, like a lot of folks I'm looking for the elusive ancestors of my family who were living in the Radford and Hyson Green areas...in particular Lenton Terrace, Hyson Green which is not on a lot of maps I have seen. Does anyone know of this?? My family moved to this area around 1870 and were around Bovill Street, Independent Street, Ossington Street and Moorgate Street. ( yes they moved a lot!!!) The son ended up marrying a girl who lived in De Ligne Street,(23) and from there my family lived in Sneinton, Basford, West Bridgford and Edwalton. Their surnames were Jones and Atkins an -
Wondered if anyone could help me, my mum died a few years ago and as a child she grew up in a place called Radford House in the late 1930s and 40s. I have a fantastic oil painting that was left in her inhertence surrounded by hedges and fields. I believe the house was sold sometime in the 50s and became a car showroom by the name of Butterworth &Walker, it was eventually pulled down in 1959. What I'm trying to understand is where exactly was the house situated, I believe it was on Ilkeston Road but unsure where, my mothers maiden name was Hopewell as in the furniture people. Many thanks

Anybody remember the Variety Club which existed in Radford during the 1960's? I vaguely remember visiting a few times with mates on a pub crawl and there being a table game called Blackjack' but I don't think it was a card game but a kind of table roulette. I would like to learn more about this venue as I am sure it's memory remains fresh in a lot of local peoples minds.

Does anybody have a photo of the former butcher's shop on the corner of Norton Street & Byfield Street, no 151? That was my great-grandfather's house and I remember visiting my gt-grandma, who still lived there until just before she died, aged 97, in the early 80s. The house was entered, from Byfield Street, through a back yard with the outside toilet on one side, and the back door into the tiny kitchen on the other. There was only one water tap, no plumbed-in hot water system. For all the time I remember visiting there, she lived in just the one room. There was a door down to the co

My 2x great grandfather and my great grandfather (as a boy) lived at 77(I think!) Pepper Street Radford. Can anybody let me know where this street was. Other Census addresses include Lindsay Street, Russell Street, Noel Street and Hyson Green Road which I can find quite easily. What has happened to Pepper Street? I found a Pepper Street in the centre of town but I'm fairly sure this is not the street I'm after.

I was going to post this in the Ancestry part of the forum but decided I was looking for more of a place than a person so didn't seem appropriate. I've been tracing my family history down and have found a few street names that I cannot locate on modern maps. Listed is an 8 DUKE STREET, Radford. I've viewed it on Google Maps - street view, but it mainly looks like factories there now and the few houses there are look far too modern to be the ones that my ancestors were living in in 1911. I was wondering if anyone could locate this on an old map because I know some of you on here are whizzs with

Before my time that was! My father was born July 1928 at No 2 Radford Bridge Road, Old Radford. The house was demolished by 1930 to make way for Raleigh Island and more so, the Crown Inn. The Crown was built where No 2 Radford Bridge Road stood. I wonder if anyone has a picture of the house, obviously before 1930, or even of the area. I would like to know what the house looked like. There are plenty of pictures on Picture the Pas,t of the Crown and that area being built but non earlier. I assume that the house belonged to the L.N.E.R as my Grandfather was Master Carpenter on the Nottingham Ca

I hoping to look into my family history so thought it a good idea to initially start on here, rather than some of the large sites advertised on TV etc. Does anyone have any record or information of the Hickling family who I think lived in the Radford area early 20th century. One name I have is John Henry Hoskins Hickling born (I think) in Radford in 1900.

This certainly fits into the "pre-50s" Nottingham. My grandmother migrated to Australia alone in 1923 aged 17. Her departure address is given as "191 Norton Road, Radford, Notts." Does anyone have a corporate memory or old map of Radford that would identify whether this address was a private address or a hotel or something else. Many thanks in advance. stevehyland

When I passed my 11+ in 1965 or so, my Dad took me to a bike shop on the corner of Radford Road and Wilkinson Street and bought me a Triumph Palm Beach bike. It was two tone blue. It seemed a big shop at the time but then I was quite small. Needless to say it isn't there now and I think even that corner has been redeveloped. Does anyone recall the name of that shop?

Hi, I have recently started researching my family tree for the Dennis family, who moved to Radford in around 1891. My great granddad George Dennis worked as a miner, I am assuming at Radford Colliery and I would be grateful for any information about this pit and what life was like for mining families living in this area. Any information at all would be great, so i can try and build a picture of his life. Best wishes, Melissa Dennis

The thread about Radford Mill and Radford Baths reminded me of two aunts who lived on Garden Street, Radford. Their house was in this space which is now used as a car park, like this......... http://i.imgur.com/uq37HLd.jpg Picture the Past have a photo of Garden Street in the 1950s; this is looking towards Denman Street. My aunts' house was on the extreme left of the photo, just about visible. That's where the low railings are in the car park picture above. http://i.imgur.com/k4woy2m.jpg

I'm still trying to rediscover the buiding that was next to Hartley Road Homes, on Norton Street towards Denman street in the late 50's, I recall (vaguely) that it was called Welbeck House (?), and was a large tenement style building (used as flats) in the centre of a courtyard, with tiled walls on the stairwells, so could have been a hospital of some description? It was set back from Norton Street, but had the sametype of rough brick walls as the Home.

Does anyone remember Flints newsagents which was on Alfreton Road roughly opposite the Spread Eagle near Bentinck Road/Hartley Road junction. It was next door to Eric's shoe shop. It was run and owned by my wife’s grandparents and she lived there for the first few years of her life.
