This is part of a Radford street map posted some time back...1920s I need the area to the right of Ilkeston Road....Cobden street/Salisbury Street area. 1920s would be great...but any other periods from 1890s to 1930s would be of interest.....Thanks.

A couple of years ago I downloaded this image of Radford. It is quite low resolution (I reduced it a bit more for uploading here). I think it was from Picture the past as I can't think where else its from. I would now like to order the full size image as it contains where I was born, lived and worked for 36 years. Problem is changed the title when I saved it. I have searched P the P using various search terms for hours and hours and worn my eyeballs out and just cannot find it again. I know its a long shot (no pun intended) but has anyone here seen it before or knows where its from please.

Greetings all. A few pictures of the exterior of the baths from recent days below but the main reason I'm posting is the owner of the site - despite it being in a conservation area and the Mills being nearly 200 years old as well as hosting the first and oldest washhouses in Nottingham has applied to demolish the lot. Needless to say it's a private property development company. To have any chance of saving it objections need to be in (by email is acceptable) by May 31st, 2011. A quick google search on Forest Mills Radford will bring up a fair few posts and pictures of most of the complex b -
I have got an old ordnance survey map of Radford in 1901 which shows Radford Colliery. I was wondering whether anyone knows when this pit was sunk and when it closed? All I know is that it was owned by the Wollation Colliery Company (is this correct). The map also shows that there was a wharf on the Nottingham Canal called Babbington Wharf near to Wollaton Road just west of Radford station which was connected by a railway which headed due north, does anybody have any ideas of where this railway went? I know I'm asking a lot but this has aroused my curiosity somewhat

Hey all, doing some research on Radford Baths, got a couple of questions you might be able to help me with: Does anyone know when they actually shut? Even better has anyone ever been inside that could tell me about it? Even better than that, does anyone have a picture of the actual pool? Cheers

This was my local line when I was a kid, we used to meet up at the black path railway bridge at the back of Firbeck Estate and watch the trains go by, not that there were that many, even in the 50's and 60's. I've heard once again, that this line is being considered for closure, is this true, has anyone got any information on this, it's been talked about since the days of Beeching, but it always managed to survive. I took my son for a nottstalgic walk along the canal from Wollaton to the site of Trowell Moor Colliery the other day, which follows the line of the railway. I was very surprised

Radford Rambling P1 Hi Nottstalgia what a great site for remembering things about Nottingham and in particular Radford. I was born at 16 Forster Grove, Radford in October 1944 and lived there for 19 Years before moving to Gedling then Bramcote then Wollaton before moving to Western Australia in 1988. I visited the web site picturethepast and was amazed to find a picture No:NTGM000723, of Forster Grove, (amazing that someone would take a photo of it) the house was a 2up 2 down shoe box with no bathroom, no hot water and an outside toilet, we had a tin bath hanging on the wall in the back y

noticed this pub looking a little sorry for itself while driving by a couple of months ago, in fact the pub in its demolished landscape reminded me of pictures of the (shameful) redevelopment of areas of nottingham in the 60's/70's i only ever had a pint once in this pub whilst on route to the variety club, which was about ten years ago-ish

Is the big JP factory still operating near Clifton Bridge??? I commissioned the air conditioning fan motors during the construction of that place. It was years ahead of it's time, generated it's own electricity with six 0ne megawatt gas turbine driven alternators from natural north sea gas piped in via a four foot gas main.

This map dated 1920 show what changes have taken place in Radford over the years. In 1965 I lived near the Northeast corner of Norton Street/Hartley Road. (in this map north is left) The south east corner at that time was mostly waste land with a big old house. The map shows other buildings, can anyone tell me what they were or when they were demolished? Walking along Norton street from Hartley Road toward Independant street, the Large penultimate building on the left, I believe was some kind of church hall were the Bucket Bashers used to meet. What are your memories of these long demolish

In the late 60's my parents owned a beer off on the corner of Trafalgar Street, sadly my memories of it are poor as I was quite young. If anyone remembers it or better still has a pic I would be interested to hear from you. Thanks.
