Old and New Nottingham, 1853.
Published:
1853
Medium: CD
Publisher:
Archive CD Books
A wonderful history book covering all aspects of life in old Nottingham. A great way to see how the town has grown and changed over the years. This book discusses Nottingham's history from its foundation to 1853, when the book was published. Unusually it contains not only the history of Nottingham's institutions, amenities and landmarks but also its social and cultural history, including chapters on Nottingham's poetry, old customs, recreations, social and sanitary state, music and musicians. Full of tales and rich in detail this book brings Old Nottingham to life.
From the "Impostors and Eccentric Characters" chapter,
"Jockey John died in St. Mary's workhouse in December 1797. This pauper had resided in the house a considerable time, and had always been regarded as a male and the father of a family, several illegitimate children having been sworn to him. On being laid out the body was discovered to be that of a woman. She had formerly been a groom in the service of Sir Harry Harper and figured on the turf under the cognomen of "Jockey John".

The History & Directory of the Town of Nottingham
Author:
Stephen Glover
Published:
1844
Medium: CD
Publisher:
Archive CD Books
"An alphabetical listing of the inhabitants, classification of the professions and trades, a complete register of electors, a brief description of its present state, population, trade, county and poor rates, institutions, public buildings, etc."
This is a most unusual directory for this early period, in that it lists the residents, (rather than just the people with trades). It even includes the framework knitters. Furthermore it states whether they are freemen, freeholders, occupiers (of houses), or journeymen (people who have completed their apprenticeship), together with their addresses.
