mick2me 3,033 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hello Roger and Welcome. This will be on Jackie Bell's Field? Babs will know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I remember it being there once when walking past from Carlton to go fishing with my dad down the 'ponds'. I wanted to go on it but my dad said it was closed (Which it was) but he still made us walk the long way round (Up the river towards Nott'm and cut up "Mile End Road" and home via the bridge over the railway at Netherfield and Colwick station) just in case it was open at that time !!. It was years later I remembered this and worked out why we'd gone such a long way out of our route home !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Netherfield fair on Jakie Bells field from the 1930s came twice yearly spring and late summer continued on there untill the council decided to try and develope for housing and my mum and other locals put a stop to that as Jackie Bell had left the land to the council but only if it was developed for the use of the children of Netherfield or it would revert back to a trust set up by him . This was in the mid 70s and it was then turned into a proper play ground and has recently been redone and looking really good. when I lived down Deabill St in the 50s early 60s all it was was a large field with bushes and trees were we made our dens.

mick2me 3,033 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Yes. I lived at the top. I remember it being up there, mid to late 70s. Should have had a hotdog stand in my front garden. Wouldv made a fortune. The Old yard had some big iron gates which were there untill the houses were built in the 80s. Incidentally the roof was never the same after someone here went up to install a CB aerial! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Don't suppose the bus conductress Hazel Nutt was a family member? Husband drove the bus she worked on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob237 89 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 ... Husband drove the bus she worked on. Recall that you posted, some while ago, that Christine Jackson? - during a Nuthall conversation with Hazel - confirmed that to be a fallacy? Prime purpose of my contribution is to confuse the non-aficionado's, even further... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Remember the road opposite Garfinkles? (With the pet shop on it ?) at the far end it bent to the left to rejoin the main road, Kozi Kots was/is the little bit that branched off to the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 My Grandad lived on Garnet street many moons ago..the house cost him £150 so quite a while back.An Aunt lived on Arthur Street and used to wind lace in her front room...she let some of her work out to a neighbour,then another and another...she eventually finished up with half the locals doing it and took her cut off each...made a bomb and bought a cottage out of it in Harby,Vale of Belvoir...that was when Nottingham still had a hosiery and lace industry...

piggy and babs 544 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 THE NUTTS WERE QUITE A BIG FAMILY IN NETHERFIELD. SEVERAL FAMILIES SCATERD ALL ROUND SOME WERE CUSINS OF KATH AND ALBERT WHO I DO REMEMBER.THE MAP POSTED BY CLIFTON IS GREAT WAS LOOKING AT IT LATE LAST NIGHT. AND IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT DEBIL ST AND THE SUROUNDING AREA YOU CAN SEE JAKIE BELLS FIELD JUST BEFORE BETWEEN ARTHUR ST AND DEABILL ST NEXT TO THE OLD RAILWAY LINE TO THE SHEDS. THANKS CLIFTON FOR THIS I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING LOOKING AS SEVERAL OF THE PLACES I LOOKED AT I HAVE NOT SEEN FOR MANY YEARS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP YOU CAN SEE HOW I WOULD SAY THAT PART AROUND DEABILL ST WAS LIKE AN ISLAND YOU CAN STILL SEE TWO OF THE RAILWAY LINES. MY HOUSE WAS WERE THE NEW HOUSES ARE JUST DOWN FROM THE JUNCKTION WITH VICTORIA RD. THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE CORNER COUNT 3 HOUSE DOWN AND THEN THE NEW HOUSESAND THERE GARDENS UNTILL THE RAILWAY LINE ON THIS SMALL PIECE OF LAND STOOD 18 HOUSES AND SMALL FRONT GARDENS AND BACK YARDS. ANOTHER THING I FOUND INTERESTING WAS THAT THE RAILWAY CLUB AT THE TOP OF THE STREET STILL HAS THE OLD TIN CLUB ROOM AT THE BACK.ALSO HOW MANY NEW HOUSES HAVE BEEN BUILT ONTHE BOTTEM ST WERE AS MOST OF THE OTHER STS HAVE STAYED THE SAME.

Scriv 168 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Reading this topic brings to mind a chance conversation I had with a former Carlton resident at the Millenium Stadium, where I'd been to watch Wales play Argentina; freebie from work BTW, didn't pay! After reminiscing about what was still there vs. what had gone, we agreed that were were likely to be the only two people in Cardiff who knew where Doctor Parks' Corner was. Just out of curiosity, is that still the common name? Used to catch the 74A Trent bus from Thurgarton to visit friends and family in Netherfield, get off there and walk down Conway Road; every Trent driver knew where it was. I would presume that Doctor Parks either had a surgery there or owned a house nearby; can someone confirm this? Me mam was a native of Netherfield BTW, born on Chandos Street though she moved to Burton Joyce at the age of three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
