mick2me 3,033 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Which side of trent bridge was this? West Bridgeford? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'd have thought so.... The Nottingham side east of the bridge, opposite Forest, was built up with boatyards and riverside businesses. The tall industrial chimney seems more relevant to north of the river than to the south. Two men promenading on Lovers Walk.......I'm saying nowt...... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigal 3 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I believe this was ripped out when they built County Hall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alisoncc 379 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 My favourite walk was from Spenii to A'peny Bridge. About half way along the narrow bit was the Railway Club. After dinner of a Sunday, the whole family would walk down Queens Drive, along the Embankment, passed the memo' gardens, over Spenii to the Club. These are some of my fondest memories.

bamber 128 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Which side of trent bridge was this? West Bridgeford? Actually until the early 50s this part of West Bridgford all the way to and including Forest's ground and a detached bit towards Adbolton was actually within the city limits. Funnily enough the bit of the Meadows' side of the Embankment by the suspension bridge wasn't technically part of Nottingham. And to be even more pedantic it's West Bridgford but East Bridgeford.

bamber 128 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Aaah. I can't quote chapter and verse right now but East Bridgeford (with the e) was/is the proper version while in recent times people have tended to drop the "e" simply because WB doesn't have one in its correct form. Changes in spelling over the course of time are nothing new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Rather depends what you call 'recent'..... On my 1921 OS Map it is East Bridgford. Likewise in Thoroton Society summary of 1894... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
