Out of Town Experiences

Verfasst von alexkemp am 12. Juni 2016 in English Zuletzt aktualisiert am 18. Juli 2016.

Thursday, on a blistering 9 June (followed up by thunderstorms on the weekend, which is classic weather for England) and I finally get to do some surveying out of my Home patch.

My Home patch is Nottingham NG3 – just a kilometre from the town centre – and everything that I’ve surveyed so far has been more-or-less well known to me. Now, finally, I get to the end of that patch. Here is the proof, with the 1877 Borough of Nottingham Boundary Marker outside the Peacock Health Centre where Carlton Road becomes Carlton Hill (it is also a node on the map; you can discover what the node-number is in JOSM by using View | Advanced info (Ctrl-I)):—

1877 Borough of Nottingham Boundary Marker

This is where Nottingham becomes Gedling, and also where the NG3 postal-district becomes NG4.

My first houses were Carlton Hill & Standhill Road. I’m going to keep surveying the houses west across the hill & to the other side. I’m interested to see what I will find.

In the meantime, I’m always interested to spot the art that folks put on, or in front of, their houses. Below is a little example from a house on Standhill Road:—

Use caution with boundaries. From your photo .. that may have been the boundary in 1877 .. but boundaries move! New places get inserted, populations change .. all leading to the change of boundaries.
