Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Ian Dawson has suggested the school was "Hope". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k p lehmann 6 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 anybody know name of nursery school on highirst street 1954 I think you're right as there is a 'Hope Chapel' around there some where. Any info regarding Radford Local History Society. Given up on libraries, Nottingham City Archives and such like. Would much prefer a group that meets up once a month or so ?

Guest Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Cliff,not sure on this one..a relation lived in Highurst Court...before that there was a hope Chapel/hall and nursery..could be wrong. Delving a bit...give me a few hours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k p lehmann 6 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thanks for that. What about groups that meet up every now and then. Really like this website and read lots of threads but not too familiar with the ropes. Born Bentinck Rd, went to nursery school on Highirst st according to my mum, then moved to Forest Road East (Colville St) - great years on The Forest and Arbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 There is currently a "Hope Chapel" on Highurst Street https://goo.gl/maps/NHNQfESmXQy That is in exactly the same location as the Nursery School used to be. So I think the case is fairly well proved. And more proof........ until the 1950s, the top half of Highurst Street (the Alfreton Road end) was called Chapel Street.

Guest Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just been reading about a pauper school on Hartley Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Was this the Nursery on Althorpe St, off Highurst St, long single-storey prefab-type? Apparently still there mid-sixties, as was Chapel St. The Hope Chapel was built on the old school site, but was it actually named after the school? Strict Baptists have a number of chapels called 'Hope'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k p lehmann 6 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 The 1954 map shows a building situated in the middle of Highurst St, Althorpe St, Montford St and Greek Street. The only wording is Nursery School. Apparently, before around 1945, Fairfield St ran right across it from Highurst St to Montford St. Still trying to find out more about Radford Local History Society. The archivist retired some years ago but they must still meet up some place some time ? Anybody know anything about the crowd that meet up and exchange memories regarding the Arboretum ?
