Rob.L 1,084 Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 There were allotments on Foxhill up to the 1950s/60s between Chesterfield Street and Garden Avenue, and also between Foxhill/Valley Road and Coningswath/Cavendish Road, where Carlton Forum was later built. Could they have been located there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could they have been located there? There used to be access to Huckerby's (Rusher) field from Cavendish Road approximately opposite Belper Avenue.There was a well in the garden of of the house on the right hand side, I think it could have been a market garden. I thought that the Hatton family lived in the house. Regards, Will2017 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Based on what Will2017 has said, the access he referred to actually has a name.......Nursery Drive, which may be a clue to what was there. https://goo.gl/maps/hrAtgshqmF99uKd9A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
