1920s Map of Nottingham


Recommended Posts

I have been sent a scan of a 1920s street map of Nottingham. If anyone wants one I'll be happy to e-mail a copy to you.

NB: the map has been divided up into nine files and each is in the region of 800kb. I don't want to muck-up your in box.

Can Bamber tell me what those buildings are junction of Norton Street/Hartley Road. I can make out Dame Agness Mellors, which I had forgotton all about.

But what are the other buildings shown.

In 1964 when I moved there, they had all been knocked down except a big old house, which was empty?

I have been sent a scan of a 1920s street map of Nottingham. If anyone wants one I'll be happy to e-mail a copy to you.

NB: the map has been divided up into nine files and each is in the region of 800kb. I don't want to muck-up your in box.

HI BAMBER I CERTAINLY COULD DO WITH A COPY MY MISSUS IS DOING FAMILY HISTORY AND IT WOULD HELP HER A LOT AND KEEP HER OFF MY BACK FOR A BIT REGARDS TAZRAZ 7

don't s'pose anyone has a copy for sale ?

--------------------------------------------------

Did anyone come across a book many years ago,,,, similar to Cunsus stuff,,,, but bang up to date.

I think I got my copy from the newagents behind the Carlton Board School on Station Road.

It cost 1/6 and about A5 size.

I can't recall the date either,,,, although I got it from that shop, i'm sure i'd already left the Board School (1959).

Incy Dentally, we used to be able to buy the Poll list from the County Hall. This would now be just photostat A4 sheets stapled together - don't know if we still can. I'll give 'em a call tomorrow.

Hi Bazzer:

I'm afraid you'll be out of luck with the Electoral Roll. They changed the legislation a few years ago. Nowadays if you want to see the edited version (ie the one that people can opt of out if they so wish) you'll have to visit a library within the appropriate electoral ward. If you want to inspect the unedited version you'll have to visit the Electoral Registration Office of the relevant local authority (not county council). And even then they act as if your handling the crown jewels.

The County Records office has the electoral roll on microfiche but only upto the year when the legislation I mentioned was enacted. After that nothing.

You can always try www.192.com and if you're clever you can bypass their charges. But it all depends on what you want to find out.

Hi Bamber from a Kiwi who would like a copy of your map. I'm writing the family story of a couple who were born in Nottingham in the late '20s and emigrated to NZ in 1951. The map might be an interesting appendix to their story - help their family (and me!) make sense of some of the places they refer to.

Regards

I would imagine so..can't think of another on there.I remember seeing the kids playing outside quite happily...I don't think it was a Charles Dickens type of place.Wonder if it was council or a charity???

I think it was originally a workhouse which later became a school. See about halfway down this page in the list of Nottingham Unions. There's further mentions and more useful links later in the chapter.
