WAB 1 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 All very interesting, but not a map of the centre of bulwell to be seen. I am trying to find a plan of Bulwell at about 1900. My relatives lived in Bulwell in the late 19th century/early 20th, and I would like to see where they lived. Can anyone help? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I may be able to come up with something. Do you know the name of the road they lived on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have a copy of the 1913 o.s. map, if you let me know where you are interested in I will post it as a photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAB 1 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks GIGA, Various addresses from 1851 Census to 1911 Census. Old yard Buildings Brocklehurst Yard Quarry Road Forest Side Birkland Street Lime Street Thames Street Coventry Road Newstead Street Hope you can help WAB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you certain they were all in Bulwell? Have you looked on a present-day map to see if they still exist? Someone else may know more than me on the subject. Old Yard - The census will also say which road that was on. Almost certainly doesn't exist now. Buildings - I assume something is missing here. Nothing will have that name. It will be called xxxx Buildings. Brocklehurst Yard - As with Old Yard Quarry Road - Dunno Forest Side - There was an area of this name alongside Bulwell Forest - surprisingly. Near the present Bancroft Street. Birkland Street - Maybe there was one, but no longer. There is still one in Mansfield, and a Birkland Avenue in Sherwood. Lime Street - Still there today on any map. Thames Street - Still there today on any map. Coventry Road - Still there today on any map Newstead Street - Maybe there was one, but no longer. There is still one in Sherwood (as with Birkland Street) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Old Yard off Newstead Street, reference here. http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/monographs/bulwell1946/bullwell6.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The Old Buildings were off Austin Street, Bulwell quarry road later became commercial road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Someone else may know more than me on the subject. After half an hour I've already been proved correct. The collective brain power of this forum is gob-smacking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Brocklehurst Yard off Main Street Bulwell Quarry Rd renamed Commercial Rd off Main Street http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM010341&pos=2&action=zoom Birkland St off Austin Street http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM012535&pos=2&action=zoom Newstead St also off Austin St (I think !)

WAB 1 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hi Everybody, Thanks for the information above, it ties in with other info that I have. I didn't want to cause a lot of trouble. I was looking for a plan of Bulwell around say 1890- 1900, which would suit my purpose very well. Thanks again for all the interest. Best Wishes Keep on Nottstalgianing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAB 1 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 As a postscript to the above, I managed to buy a copy of the Godfrey map mentioned above by Cliff Ton, this is a reprint ot a 1913 OS map and it covers and shows most of what I was after. Thanks for all the attention to my quest. Best Wishes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rockrock 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Does anyone know where Crown Street in Bulwell was situated? Also in 1911 census my Great Great Grandad was a prisoner, in Bulwell district?? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 There was a Crown Street off Blue Bell Hill Road, but I can't think of one in Bulwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've found a reference to one in Bulwell; it is described as being off Quarry Road, which was off Main Street. So far I can't find either Quarry Road or Crown Street on any old maps. They both disappeared before the 1950s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Quarry Road or at least most of it became Commercial Road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Part of Downing Street still there...This map is 1880s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks to Ashley, I've solved the problem. This was Crown Street. To the right of it is Duchess Street (spot the theme running in the area). A new version of Duchess Street exists today in Bulwell, but it follows the line of the earlier version, so you can work out where Crown Street was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smiffy49 590 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm looking for the location of Leyland Street, Bulwell. A company called Millers 'The Tea People' had their office and warehouse there in the 1960s. Does anyone remember this company? A search on Google fails to find the street or the name of the company... It was owned by Tom & Bill Miller and one their daughters, Yvonne.
