Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks Cliff,I'm sure they re- named that street before knocking it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm glad you said that because on some maps it seems to be in the same place as a road called Gedling Street, and I wasn't sure if it was the same road with a different name, or another road.

Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That's right!! They did change it,I remember in the city centre one or two street signs that said " formerly", thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Lambley street ran up the left hand side of the former Star Inn pub Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,730 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 On Coventry Rd, between Hempshill Lane an 'Lambley', or 'Vere' St, is where my cousin Pete lived. They had a little greengrocers on the corner, and they still occupied the old bakehouse next door. Opposite them was the abandoned 'Black Horse' pub. Their shop would be under the 'St' of Vere St on the above map. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mitch1 7 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 My Cousins Father was the eldest of his siblings and asking my Cousin where in Bulwell his Dad was born in 1920 he didn't know. But his Dads earliest memories as a youngster were living at 'Cabbage Alley'. This is known to us as Holborn Place. Speaking to both my Mum and employer - both from Bulwell and aged 70+, neither had heard of this nickname. I can only presume it had died out by the 1940s. Wonder as to its origin.....
