raynorscruples 2 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi Does any one have a street map that shows the above location in Hyson Green around 1880, seen some photos of the area in 1960. Any help much appreciated. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,532 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Seeing that map has just prompted me to ask a question I have been meaning to ask for a while. Does anyone know where Harold Road was? My Grandmother would have lived there in the 1910's until her parents died, both by 1918. She was born at 40 Belton Street which still survives but I have no idea where Harold Road was. I would have thought it was in the area of that map above but I can't see it.

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Harold Road was very much in Radford rather than Hyson Green. Off Hartley Road almost opposite the Children's Home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Harold Rd was off Hartley Rd. This is all that's left. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9606208,-1.174244,3a,75y,348.56h,79.52t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sa7ojcG4yqvkmBXOeUnaYGA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Seeing Forest Road on the Hyson Green map bought back some memories, went there in the 60s on a college trip to Metropolitan Gas Meters. All the meters were made by hand the skill of those guys with the old fashioned soldering irons was something to see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
