Sneinton grew up on the
eastern side of Nottingham, in a similar way to New Radford and New
Lenton on the west side - to help cope with the overcrowding in
Nottingham. This map (1881) shows some of the streets where members of
the Radford and Southwell 2 branches lived in the the mid to late 1880s
: West Street, North Steet and Walker Street. Piecemeal redevelopment
took place under clearance schemes in the 1930s and a larger scheme took
place later.
