Woolpack Lane & Lincoln Street


Recommended Posts

I Worked at City Uniform on Woolpack Lane in 1966. I left there to get married and leave Nottingham, so never actually saw that road again, until we started coming to the Nottstalgia meetups and stayed in the "Ibis Hotel, Fletchergate" from where we started exploring the area.

Weather my memory is failing, I don't know but I can't remember those houses. The pictures show how very old the buildings were. I would be interested as well to know when they were demolished, or did I walk past them 1964 to 66?

There were a few surviving old buildings on the bowling alley side of Woolpack Lane at least until the early 80s, on the left where the fencing is. I think they were demolished when the Arena and Ice place were built.

And there are a couple of surviving old buildings on the other side (looking towards Hockley).

I remember my Mother working at "Byards" and I'm pretty sure (but not certain) that it was on Woolpack Lane?

I remember that because it was where we walked once my dad had parked on Woolpack Lane.

There are actually two cut-throughs from Woolpack to Goose Gate, and they both have names. One is Wing Walk (on the left - the Gee Dee one) and the other is Angel Alley (right).

On the upper part of Lincoln Street,there was a row of houses,around the corner from the BT building- Are they still in existence?

 

One of them is up for sale at the moment. Buy a house in the city centre which is at least 200 years old.

I'm new to the forum, and hope this is the correct place to put my question.  I am trying to decipher the name of an alley on an 1841 census image.   The other names on the same page are Woolpack Lane and Fountain Place.  Any ideas?  Grateful for your thoughts!
