Wheres Annie 0 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Does anyone happen to have any images or info about Blacks Yard off Hounds Gate please?

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Here's Blacks Yard, near the Salutation, and now buried under Maid Marian Way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheres Annie 0 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Fantastic! thank you very much Don’t suppose you know where is it in relation to Park Street and Park place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Park Street was what is now the top half of Friar Lane - the stretch from Maid Marian Way up to the Castle. Park Place was at the bottom of Park Row - roughly where it now joins Maid Marian Way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wheres Annie 0 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Fab thank you so if an address was - 2 Park Place, Park Street Nottingham - would that actually have been on what is now Park Row? The accounts we’ve had passed down made it sound nearer to the castle - which would fit in with Friar Lane replacing Park Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 That makes a difference ! There's more than one Park Place. Ignore my first reference to it on Park Row; the one you want is obviously on Park Street. This shows everything in one place. Yours is just round the corner from Hounds Gate. The red blob is a marker for the Castle Gatehouse if you want to work out where it all is. You'll see there's also a Park Yard and a Park Square...and others further out.

Wheres Annie 0 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your help. What year are the maps please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Those maps are 1880s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 And finally...... This is early 1950s and the circle is Black's Yard, which appears to be part-demolished. The arrow shows where Park Place would have been, but it had already been replaced by an office block. Most of the buildings in the lower part of the picture are still there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
