Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 i have a few from ,picture the past,and off bernard heathcote,but they are of the top end the petrol station,and the bottom end corner of glebe st and london rd,thanks I think this one doesn't fall into any of those categories. You will probably find a few more in various "Old Nottingham" books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roe1958 4 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 i have found a few but there all arkwright street end or london road,this is the first picture ive seen of the street itself,when we moved in no 3 number 1 was empty,so i didnt know what it was used as,it was a larger house with a archway thru to lots of out buildings,thought it may have been a coal merchants,number five was a shop which was still trading,when it closed a family moved in,think there name was western.

denshaw 2,871 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 thanks for that pic, I lived in the 4th house along, the shop was known as Jeans, sold food and general goods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roe1958 4 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 past there today,so stopped for a look at saint saviors church,and the path down the right hand side next to the old vicarage,the new looking building in the forground in the old picture is still there at the back of the vicarage,although i carnt remember it being there at the time,at the end of the path down to london road ,part of the burton almshouses wall is still there,so i work it out to where my old house was,and it seems a new road runs right through the middle of it,shame they knocked down the almshouses,they had a really nice garden to the rear of them,my house backed onto them,nice view from the upstairs windows,still any and all pictures of glebe street are still welcome,or titles of books with them in would be great, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
