Netherfield, Nottinghamshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Netherfield, is a small town 3 miles east of Nottingham. It lies just outside the city boundary in the borough of Gedling. It is between Colwick and Carlton in the NG4 postcode area, and near the River Trent.
Originally a village, the town’s main period of growth occurred during the mid 19th Century, due to an influx of railway workers and their families. Rows of terraced Victorian houses were built to accommodate their needs. This architecture remains characteristic of Netherfield to this day.
Despite its small size, Netherfield still has its own train station. Carlton station is less than a mile away on the Nottingham - Lincoln line. The local schools are the Carlton Netherfield Junior and Infants schools. The nearest secondary school is the Carlton-le-Willows School. There is a large Morrisons store on Victoria Parkway near the A612. In recent years, the area has had a dubious reputation for social problems associated with crime and poor housing, however with the use of local forums and regeneration projects such refurbishments and new housing the area is now enjoying a much better reputation.
