Dunkirk and the Meadows
« on: Friday 15 June 07 22:48 BST (UK) »

Hi All

I have just bought a house in Dunkirk and would like to know a bit more about the area.

Are there any old maps online?  Any histories of the Church near Cloister Street and Lenton Abbey etc?  Anything that I can access online would be great. 

I am also interested in Eckington Terrace, where a friend has connections around 1910, anyone know of and history sites for that area too?  Her ancestor was a waggon builder (railways), any details of a waggon works in the area?

Many thanks.

Teddy

Thanks for that.  Great links.

I can't wait to find out more about the area, especially if there was a big Church building around Cloister Street!  After all Kirk means Church, so....................................
