Guzzgog 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 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 am very interested in the old map of Nottingham. I have just bought the book 'Picture the Past' and it makes an old map an essential commodity. I thought of going to the library to look at their maps; this would save me a lot of time and I am obliged to you. Best regards guzzgog. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bottesford 0 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I highly recommend a trip to Waterstones - head to the local interest section and you'll find a whole load of old maps (exactly like the one above in fact) for sale. Only a couple of quid too - I got three covering Sherwood in the north, the city centre and the Meadows in the south. All dated around 1900. Some interesting history on the back too. More info: http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk You can spend hours matching them up to Google Earth and noting the differences. Biggest differences being back to back housing clearance, the loss of the Great Central Railway and of course the hideous Maid Marian Way that smashed its way through so much of the city.

johnr 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Many thanks. I would appreciate it if you would send me the map. Many thanks. Me too if they are still available! Many thanks! Trying to find Thoresby St Sneinton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Johnr, welcom to the forum. Thoresby Street was at the junction of Pennyfoot Street and Manvers Street running north/south. See bottom right hand corner of the map at the top of the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Tony, you can get the map here Nottingham Map Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Fascinating! able to see the route of the old pits line from cinderhill etc, the route of the Leen and canals, the old "main road" Whitemoor Avenue, and the Suburban Railway going between 2 Lunatic Asylums!

Ashley 288 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I mentioned earlier the Nottingham Suburban Railway going between the 2 "lunatic asylums" (as stated on map). Just shows you what you miss as was looking at the map again earlier today and this time noticed the line is named as "Great Northern Railway" Now I know the NSR was "backed" by The GNR, in fact run by them (their rolling stock, locos etc) but can find no evidence of them taking it over officially or renaming of The NSR? I have also seen it identified by the name Nottingham Suburban Railway on other maps. A further question (and possibly a more accurate dating of the map) arises as on Jan 1st 1923 The Great Northern Railway name, along with The NSR and GCR ceased to exist as absorbed into The LNER, Nottingham's other 2 railways The Midland and London North Western becoming part of The LMS.

I am looking for Bartram Street where my mother was born in 1926......appreciate if you could have a look for me and send me the relevant file. Thanx Mareli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi Margaret, Welcome to Nottstalgia, Are you sure it is not "Bertram Street, Nottingham", not "Bartram Street"? Bertram Street was close to Trent Bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnr 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 What is the name of the brewery in Basford on the map...i can't make it out! It's on First (?) St and begins with M! Is it Marstons? It was later part of Shipstones i know. Cheers K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 blimey, I can't even see the street! There was a brewery in Old Basford on Alpine St but by 1922 was Murphy's Chemical Works (still there) There was also a brewery in New Basford I think called Basford Brewery later took over by Shipstones just off Northgate, Craig will probably know Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Christine F I am looking for a detailed street map of Nottingham and from what I can gather there is a PDF version being mentioned on this webpage. Is there any chance I could have a copy of the PDF sent to me please? I would be very grateful as a colleague has asked me to get him a copy and as of yet, after searching the internet, there is few detailed maps around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Unfortunately this thread - and the all posts in it - are more than 10 years old and as far as I can tell none of the links are still working. What year of map are you looking for ? Since this thread started, there are a number of websites which can probably provide what you're looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
