The History and Heritage of Gedling Borough Gedling Borough Brought Alive The history and heritage of Gedling Borough Gedling Borough Brought Alive The history and heritage of Gedling Borough Compiled and edited by Stephen Walker Abstract: The Borough of Gedling, formed in 1974, is an administrative district in Nottinghamshire. The area has a long history of human occupation. During the industrial revolution, in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was an important centre for textiles, brickmaking and coal mining. In the 20th century it became one of the suburbs of Nottingham. Since the decline of manufacturing and mining in the late 20th century the district has become important as a residential area, with a thriving economy based increasingly on tourism and the service sector. Historically the borough was within the medieval Sherwood Forest and the partially wooded farmland, containing several country parks, still provides an attractive location for leisure and recreation.

Some have created and led heritage walks, given talks, held exhibitions and installed plaques to help us remember the people and events of our borough. However, in recent times it was realised that nowhere could we find a collective history of the Borough of Gedling, which was formed in 1974. To this end Gedling Borough Council, working with local history groups, developed a project and successfully applied for a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to produce that collective history. From the commencement of The purpose of this book is redeveloped, demolished or the project, in January 2018, to introduce the reader to disappeared are not generally volunteers from across the the historical features and discussed.

Summary of Principal Findings and Conclusions 1 This Retail Study was commissioned by the five Local Authorities to advise on the need for new retail development in the sub-region, and how it could be accommodated in a commercially realistic way. It was also intended to identify the hierarchy of centres in the Districts; and provide information on the vitality and viability of each town centre, applying the criteria in PPS6. The Study will form part of the evidence base for each new Local Development Framework. National trends in retailing and retail development 2 As the context for retail planning and development, a review of national trends in retailing and retail development was undertaken. The principal implications of these trends for Greater Nottingham are as follows: (a) To achieve new retail development in the smaller centres, it will be necessary to encourage non-traditional forms of development. These will either need to be mixed use schemes, probably including substantial residential elements so as to increase value and subsidise the ground floor retail accommodation, or be low cost developments such as simple free-standing stores. (b) Despite PPS6 and the sequential approach, there will be continued pressure for more out-of-centre development of retail warehouses; and pressure to relax bulky goods conditions on existing retail warehouses in the study area.
