Local residents say it's easy to be 'overlooked'
People have provided a snapshot of life in a 'calm' city suburb, home to independent businesses and an award-winning chippy. Located near Sherwood, and north of the Forest Recreation Ground, Carrington has a pharmacy, barber shop, Lidl supermarket, primary school and an array of independent shops.
Doctor's Orders in Mansfield Road is dog friendly - and there's also the award-winning chippy, the Cod’s Scallops. The origins of the suburb go back to the Enclosure Act of 1792, which released some of the land to be sold for building new homes. About six acres of land on the junction of Mansfield Road and Hucknall Road were allotted to Robert Smith, a direct descendant of Thomas Smith, who started the first country bank in Nottingham in the late 17th century.
Crossing it was a dangerous business as all sorts of robbers and cut-throats lurked in the undergrowth. Carrington Market Place was established and thrived for many years until it closed in 1930, much to the annoyance of local residents. The area subsequently developed into what it is today.
