Moolybap1969 1 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hello everybody , i am new to this site but have enjoyed looking at the old maps etc , i was born on Enfield Street in Hyson Green in 1969 , Enfield street no longer exsists and i believe it is under the police station on Radford road which is near to Gladstone street . I have seen it on some of the maps but just wondered if anybody has a closer views of it and the surrounding streets , thanks Pete . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moolybap1969 1 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think that's the answer Meanwhile, back to the original question from jimbo, I'd forgotten about this but it may help him. Have you a closer and clearer view of Enfield Street which is to the left hand side just off Radford road and near Gladstone Street , thanks Pete . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,534 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Welcome moolybap 1969. My grandmother was born across the other side of Radford Road at 40 Belton Street albeit in 1900. That house is still there. They then moved to 25 Harold Road. I don't think that that is still there and I have no idea exactly where it was but must have been in the same area. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I cleaned windows for a year in between proper jobs. I did most of the streets between Burford Road and Foxhall Road. Some of the front windows on Shipstone Street and Gladstone Street were pretty scary to clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 On 12/8/2012 at 4:25 PM, Cliff Ton said: This is showing around 1915-20. What you notice is that the street layout back then is identical to the way it is today. There hasn't been any large-scale demolition in that area, so it hasn't changed. If you want to know the streets back then, look at Google today.  Well, you learn something every day! Just noticed this. It would appear that, prior to the building of The Manning, there was housing running across the site...Wilfred Avenue...and Stanley Road ran right down to Gregory Boulevard. I had no idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Baldy 17 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks for posting this - I was born on Windermere Road, which isn't named on the map. It's the road between Ewart Road and Stanley Road, and runs from Berridge Road to Laurie Avenue. North of Berridge Road it's Bradgate Road (?). I was at Stanley Junior up to 1967 and then Forest Fiels Grammar to 1972. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
