Old Bulwell by David Ottewell

Description

A series of old photographs with explanatory text.

Now a suburb of Nottingham, this book shows Bulwell in its heyday when it was a busy independent market town. The old Picture House, the trams that served Market Place, Strelley House, floods in 1908 and 1932, and Bestwood ironworks are among the local landmarks featured. Bulwell Hall and its park are included, with a picture of an early twentieth century hot-air balloon ascent from the park. There are also pictures of Highbury Vale, two local collieries, and A. Lowe’s bus. 48pp
