Anyone know the history of this unusual property at 16 Blyth St, Mapperley?
Blyth Street, along with Staples Street and Querneby Road took their name from families who held land in the 'Maperley Closes' going back 400 years. These families were also reported to be related to Lord Byron.

As with many public consultations, the GBC Local Plan is complicated and time consuming.

Thanks to the Friends of Mapperley Golf Club this very helpful page walks you through how to object and provides an excellent copy and paste message stating all the laws being broken, as well as instructions on how to submit.

It has been created by local residents opposed to the proposed development of Mapperley Golf Course.

It is not affiliated with Gedling Borough Council or any political party.

All planning information is drawn from publicly available council documents.

You are encouraged to include your own words and comments, should you wish.

We have received a copy of the Mapperley Hospital

We have received a copy of the Mapperley Hospital League of Friends - Cookery Book.

It contains a foreword from the president Mrs. Miriam Kaplowitch O.B.E. and Ailsa Stanley the Chairman of the Mapperley Hospital League of Friends.

We believe it was published in 1970

Maybe a relative of yours had a favourite recipe published?

There are many local people and some not so local, like Bermuda and even one from Mary Berry

For example:

Mrs Gay Rose - Thorneywood

During roofing work on a 1930s house in Mapperley, tucked away in the eve was a black woollen coat that dates back to WWII.

Was it worn by the householder on the night of the Nottingham Blitz in May 1941?

The label and buttons explain the story. The label reads

Size 9 Overcoat - Montague Burton Leeds

The company's Hudson Mills factory was located in Burmantofts and at one time was believed to be the largest clothing factory in the world

The metal buttons bore the letters CD beneath the Kings Crown, standing for Civil Defence. Originally formed in 1935 as the Air Raid Precautions (ARP), the organization renamed its uniform services to Civil Defence in 1941 to unify wardens, rescue squads, ambulance drivers, and messengers. The manufacturer was Cheney B’ham, based on Factory Road in the Hockley area of Handsworth.

Both companies no longer exist.

Thanks to Andy Redgate for sending this:
We've been looking through my dads old photos and found this. My grandfather used to own an electrical stop at 734 Woodborough Road, opposite where Aldi now is. We believe this photo is taken from outside 734 looking towards Porchester Road. Can anyone confirm this and anyone know any more about it? Can it be dated? Who is on the bike?
