Bertie 0 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Can anyone tell me was there a Piggins or Pippins Yard Radford in 1891 and if so where it was. I have the Yardley family from my past that lived there according to the 1891 Census. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 It seems to have been Piggins Yard, which was off Lindsay Street, off Radford Road, in Hyson Green. The nearest equivalent today is around here. LIndsay Street was approximately the car park entrance, and Piggins Yard was a bit further down on the right. https://goo.gl/maps/btgsLoW74njddJu8A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bertie 0 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Thank you Cliff Ton do you have any old maps from 1891? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 This shows where it was. St Paul's church on the left is still there today. The P.H. (Public House) on the map was an early version of The Cricket Players. And a few photos of Lindsay Street. https://picturenottingham.co.uk/image-library.html?keywords=lindsay street Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bertie 0 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Thank you again Cliff Ton map appreciated. The only thing is it is in the 1891 census for Radford District 31 and is after Hyson Passage Linday Street, Pepper Yard, Mayatt Yard? Have included a snap shot of the page but not sure how clear it is. Here is the web address as well. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/6598/images/NTTRG12_2689_2691-0067?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.124785294.527463278.1624809476-137717846.1624809476&pId=13745480 Does this help at all as to where it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Welcome, Bertie. I knew this area well...but not in 1891...although my grandparents would have been very familiar with it then. My great aunt Lily was married at St Paul's Church, as was her older sister, Rose, before her. So many of the features on CT's map, I remember from my childhood. The police station, the library, Kirkstead Street where several of my school chums lived, lovely shops where you could buy anything. Then some idiot decided to build the concrete monstrosity flats. The rest is downhill all the way. I wouldn't dare venture in that area alone now. Very sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I wouldn't venture round there with an armed guard. You can drive round there at 60mph and they can still remove your wing mirrors. Welcome Bertie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those other places you've mentioned were also on Lindsay Street. The names aren't very clear but the red arrows indicate.....from left to right....Piggins Yard...Amos Yard....Wyatt Yard.....Pepper Yard........with Adams Street down the middle and Adams Cottages.
