The History, Gazetteer & Directory of Nottinghamshire 1885 has several references to Virginia St.
It also refers to Bath St (Colton Rd, Sneinton) and then lists both Virginia St and Independent Hill under that ref.

Hi Skewey
Was there anything on Independent Hill that you know of like a building or anything famous. I live in Nottingham and can go to our Library tomorrow if you want and see if they have any old maps. Do you mean Standard Hill, where the Royalists put their Standard for Charles 1? Most of the streets you mention in the St Marys area, are right in the middle of Nottingham/ I know where Bath Street is, and Standard Hill but cant remember hearing of a Independent Hill but should imagine its somewhere near the Castle/ Dont know if you have been to Nottingham but there are not many hills around lol
Will have a look tomorrow for you,
regards Sandymc

Thanks everybody. I do live in Nottingham, but am finding it hard to get down to the records office at the moment, hence asking on here. It looks like with Brook St. and Bath St. It could have been part of the St Anns clearance or even earlier for the offices in the area.
Skewy.

Since posting I googled Brook St, Nottingham and noticed the development that had gone on. I also noticed a few street names that had cropped up when searching Wright's Directory.
In Wright's, listed under Brook St, are Beck St, Cowan St, Corn St, Parrot's Place, Freeman St, Independendent Hill, Virginia St, Nile Row and Nile St - in that order.
The google map continues to show Beck St with Brook St running off it. Cowan St then runs off to the left and much further along Nile St runs off to the right. Those that came in between appear to be history.
regards

Thank you hanes teulu

Thank you everyone for your help.
This is complete now for me.
