mariag 4 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Does anyone know where Gill Street was? I believe it weas somewhere near the old general hospitol. My great gran was a servant there in 1880s. What type of buildings were they?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 There is a Gill Street just off Mansfield Road near the city. Close by used to be Peel Street hospital which was a large maternity Hospital. Could this be the one? The houses have been demolished on there now but i seem to remember them being large semi detached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Large houses on Gill street when I was small,lots of Doctors lived in those houses,by the 70's it was very run down,Hampden st,Dryden st.all requiring previous convictions before obtaining a tenancy.Camilla's knock off got some stick from the locals when he came to goz at Trent Poly's new building.St Anne's was in a bad way and housing was in short supply.

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yes Ian Gill Street in it's day was very posh, 3 story detached and semi detached Victorian housing for the upper middle classes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Its a shame NBL that they pulled lovely houses down,lots of places probably only needed rewiring and new pipes etc..I know a lot were damp and were only fit for the wrecking ball.Is it true the last council building program was 1973-St.Annes?

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 To me it's seems nowadays that they have to spend loads of cash refurbing the ones built in the 70's St Annes being a prime example. Remember the district heating scheme powered by burning waste at London Road, don't think there's a single house left on that scheme now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
