Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As some of you already know I am about to move house & I am returning to Nottingham(Old Badsford) We are going to have a lot less room so my map collection has to go The collection is rather large covering both town (1880s) city (1950s & 1960s ) & county The buyer MUST take the entire collection of about 1,500 maps. Interested please PM me I'm not asking much & am willing to take any reasonable offer. Buyer to collect you will need a car with a large boot or a van Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Savage 3 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hello wonderful Map people! :-) Wondering if anyone has a map that shows Exchange Court on Mount Street? It was there in 1906... not sure how long before or after it might have existed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have 2 copies of the old Nottingham maps, 1881 and 1899, I cant see that place on the map. The area seemed to be mostly factories then. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm pretty certain it's one of these two, although at the moment I haven't found anything large-scale enough to include names. Bromley Place still exists. Exchange Court is now in the middle of Maid Marian Way at the point where that road bisects Mount Street. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Savage 3 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Thank you Cliffton, that is great! Is that the Baptist Burial across the road? I understand that's now below a Casino from another thread I read? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I can now confirm that Exchange Court is the upper of those two arrows on the map. And yes, it's the same Baptist Burial Ground from another thread ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you find something somewhere that showed where it was, or just process of elimination? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 It was a case of eventually finding what I was looking for ! Note that on the corner of Exchange Court is a pub named The Rose, and further down is another pub named The Heart Goodfellow ! That named cropped up again later. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 You can see that old version of The Hearty in this photo from the early 60s. It's the half-timbered building on the right. The tower block on the left is still there as the Park Plaza Hotel. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,011 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well Cliff Ton has done it again , when I first joined this forum I wrote amongst other things that I was amazed that a question could be asked and before long someone would post a map and quiet possible a photograph, what a forum. Cliff Ton do you give tutorials on how to research items ,if so put my name down. I have still remembered not to get in the way of Carni in the cake queue. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It had never occurred to me, and no-one's ever suggested it before, but now you mention it...... I'd also suggest Carni starts doing cake tutorials. I'd go to them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Put mine down as well please Clifton, whenever I Google stuff (well most of the time) i never seam to get the answer I was expecting yet others ask the same question and get what they want !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Savage 3 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 I believe the map data different people on here actually own, right? I don't think that particular stuff is online... is it? As for photos, I think it takes perseverance and knowing your area. Knowing cross streets, or major buildings as references, and searching them in a Google image search, and then altering some settings in the Image Search, such as showing only Black & White pictures and such. I can sometimes find what I'm looking for, other times is trawling for additional data, or using a forum like this since I'm not intimately familiar with the area to know what landmarks to look for. Google, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest... you can usually find something specialized somewhere. This site is awesome though, and it comes up in so many of my searching time and time again!! But yeah, i'd read any research hints/tips for sure!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Brilliant picture, talk about new meets old! What was the use of the building that appears to have a clock on the corner? First time I went in the 'modern' Hearty was about 1982, many times upstairs, went downstairs for shortlived excellent Acid Jazz night about 1993, only went in the street level bar once. The whole place was pretty much a dump! Hard to believe it was probably less than twenty years old when I first visited! Why pull down the original? was the road widened? Can't even recall what replaced it. I assume that top right of the picture became a car park? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same scene today. https://goo.gl/maps/otasdyLC1LywfTxc8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Occasion was called Acid Jazz! That Wouldn't have been my definition.
