Is their any member who can throw any light on this subject? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I don't know the area, but could this be the place ? This is the 1930s and the school didn't exist yet, but nearby was a Smallpox Hospital, which is sort-of similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I don't seem to see attachments or be able to click on links any more, is that a map of the time showing Rushcliffe/Smallpox/Isolation Hospital or the PTP pic with the poplars.... http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NCCC000897&pos=2&action=zoom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 370 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 There is definitely a smallpox hospital marked on pre-ww2 maps near where the infants school later was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 As far as I can remember the hospital was like a wooden hut as on the map, maybe the school was built around it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Budgie 0 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Back when I was in holgate juniors there used to be a hill at the back of the playground where you wasn't allowed. Obviously we used to go up there and one day dug out some broken pottery plates and a blue glass medicine bottle. This caused loads of interest with loads of things being dug up and put on display in the school. That hill is now flat with, i magine, thousands of items found but i dont know what happened to them. Do you think the school saved them? I remember being told the hill was a demolished hospital replaced by the school. Also on a side note, if it was a small pox hospital then usually there will be a burial site near by. I wonder where that is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
