Early History
-
The name Carlton comes from Old English “Ceorlatun” meaning “farmstead of the free peasants”.
-
It appears in the Domesday Book (1086) as “Carentune,” when it was a small agricultural settlement.
🏡 Growth into a Village
-
For centuries, Carlton was a farming community east of Nottingham.
-
By the 18th and 19th centuries, population grew thanks to the Industrial Revolution. Many locals worked in nearby industries, especially lace-making, textiles, and coal mining.
-
Carlton gradually shifted from a rural village into a suburban township.
🚉 Transport & Expansion
-
The opening of the Nottingham–Lincoln railway (1846) and nearby stations helped Carlton expand.
-
By the late 19th century, new housing developments made Carlton popular with workers commuting into Nottingham.
🏘️ 20th Century
-
In 1894, Carlton became part of the Carlton Urban District Council, which later merged into Gedling Borough (1974).
-
Large-scale housing estates were built before and after World War II, making it one of Nottingham’s bigger suburbs.
-
Carlton also developed schools, churches, and leisure facilities as the population grew.
🌳 Today
-
Carlton is a residential suburb just 3 miles east of Nottingham city centre.
-
It has a mix of Victorian terraces, 20th-century estates, and modern housing.
-
Key features include Carlton Hill shopping area, local parks (such as Gedling Country Park nearby), and good transport links into Nottingham.

It’s part of the wider Greater Nottingham urban area, known for its community feel.
