The "Meadows" were larger a Victorian suburb of Nottingham with many rowhouses and crescent apartment buildings built in the late 1800s. There were also factories and small mills in the are. The area was largely rebuilt in the 1960s and 1970s. Tramways were built to bring workers in from fringe areas to downtown Nottingham. The tramways were one of the reason so many places were demolished or changed.

John SUTTON provides a photograph of Crocus Street in this area on Geo-graph, taken in May, 2017.

John SUTTON also has a photograph of the old Gresham Works building on Geo-graph, taken in 1996, before it was demolished.

• This place was an ancient parish in Nottingham county.
   
• This place was part of Nottingham incorporated as a modern Civil Parish in late 1897 when the town received its charter as a city that same year as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
   
• You may contact the Nottingham City Council regarding political or civic matters, but they will NOT help you with family history searches. They are not funded for that.
   

• Bastardy cases would be heard in the Nottingham petty session hearings.
   
• Plumptre (Alt. Plumtree) Hospital was a charity in Nottingham providing almshouse accommodation for 599 years from 1392 to 1991. Founded by John de Plumptre, Mayor of Nottingham, in 1392, it supported two priests and "thirteen poor women broken down of age and depressed of poverty". The hospital was rebuilt in 1823. Additional almshouses were built in Canal Street in 1956 (these were demolished around 2000). The building of 1823 was taken over by the Royal National Institute for the Blind in 2001.
   
• After the Poor Law Amendment Act reforms of 1834, this parish became a part of the Nottingham Poor Law Union.
