A Historical Overview of New Basford

Origins & Development

• New Basford is a predominantly Victorian suburb, forming the northern part of Basford and located just 1.5 to 3 miles north of Nottingham city centre John Knifton+13Picture Nottingham+13Picture Nottingham+13Wikipedia.

• The name "Basford"—not New Basford specifically—derives from "Basa's ford," mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 Wikipedia+1.

Ecclesiastical Parish & Early Growth

• New Basford officially became an ecclesiastical parish in 1847, formed out of the larger Basford parish Google Cloud Storage+15Forebears+15Nottingham History+15.

• Initially, services were held in makeshift, rented spaces. With significant effort—led by Rev. Thomas Ambler Bolton—the first permanent church (St Augustine's) and a school followed soon after Southwell Churches+1.

• This church was later expanded in multiple phases (1859, 1877, 1884, 1895), reflecting growing local demand Southwell Churches+3Forebears+3FamilySearch+3.

• Though no longer standing, the church stood until its demolition in 1989 FamilySearch+1.

Street Names & Cultural References

• A fascinating layer of New Basford’s history is visible in its street names. One area—known as the "Egyptian quarter"—features streets called Cairo Street, Delta Street, Egypt Road, Rosetta Road, Suez Street, likely in reference to the 19th-century British involvement in Egypt (e.g., the Suez Canal opening in 1869 or events of the 1882 invasion) Southwell Churches+7John Knifton+7Picture Nottingham+7.

• North of that lies a cluster of streets commemorating places from the Zulu War of 1879: Chard Street, Chelmsford Road, Durnford Street, Ekowe Street, Isandula Road, Zulu Road, possibly intended as a salute—albeit a uniquely contradictory one—to the valor of the Zulu forces John Knifton.

Industrial & War-Effort Heritage

• New Basford was also home to the renowned Shipstones Brewery, established in 1852 at the Star Brewery. It became a local institution until its closure in 1991 Wikipedia+15Wikipedia+15Picture Nottingham+15.

• During World War I, a local lace factory was converted into the New Basford National Ordnance Factory (secured under the Defence of the Realm Act 1917) to manufacture 37 mm guns for the Royal Air Force. Though production started in mid-1918, it concluded in March 1919; the factory had employed around 400 people, 160 of whom were women Heritage Gateway.

Transport & Station Closure

• New Basford railway station, part of the Great Central Railway, opened in 1899 and served both local and Great Northern Railway routes. It closed to passengers in September 1964, with goods services ending in 1967 Wikipedia+1.
