1939 - Nottingham launched its slum Clearance scheme and, as part of that, five streets in the market area: Finch street, Sheridan street, Brougham street, Lucknow street and Pipe street were demolished. This gave the Sneinton market an additional 2 3/4 acres- more than twice the previous area.

"DESERVED WHAT SHE GOT."
MAGISTRATE'S REMARK ASSAULT CASE. •
At the Guildhall to-day, Mary Ann BrierJey, 2. Lewis-place, Ranchfte-street, Nottingham, charged Harriet Paddock, 25, housewife, 36, Pipestreet, and Joseph, alias Jim, Wiltshire, 50. described by the police as a poacher, of 6, Gedlingstreet., with assault. Mr. A. F. (defending) suggested that Bnerley was roiling drunk, and injured herself falling. Complainant: Certainly not, sir. I had my senses me. Was you there? Mr. Heane: No. I was not. lam glad to say. But I have several witnesses who were. Brierley having no witnesses, the chairman (Mr. W. Davi?) said Mr. Heane need not waste his time calling those for the defence. Complainant deserved all she got. She should keep away from »uch people and such places (public houses). The case was dismissed.
Harriet Paddock- I believe Harriet Paddock to be Harriet Wilsher, sister of Sarah Wilsher 1900, also daughter of Joseph Wilsher 1865, and Elizabeth Woodward 1863.
Harriet Wilsher born 1897, married Oliver Paddock in 1914, remarried Fred Ballington in 1949.
Father Joseph Wilsher 1865 and Mother Elizabeth Woodward 1863.
Joseph Wilsher 1907 atb/Laura Waddingham 1904
Birth-Joseph Wilsher 1928, 22 pipe Street
Death-Laura Waddingham 1931, 7 Lucknow street
"Elizabeth Wilshire/Woodward also lived for a while in Piper Street, a lot of the Wilshires lived with each other and went from house to house to live"
As like Sarah Wilsher 1900, working Sneinton market selling Carpets, more of the same direct family are in and around my Joseph Wilsher 1907 atb. Interestingly Joseph Wilsher 1865 is the uncle of Rebecca Wilsher 1897. Rebecca Wilsher, being mentioned in Romany routes article 2004 as settling in Nottingham along with Joseph Wilsher 1907 atb... One question leads to many more.
As a side thought, is Joseph, alias Jim, Wiltshire of 6-Gedling street in facted Joseph Wilsher 1865??
Joseph 6-Gedling street has a shop selling Cloths,Wardorbes, Gedling street road is straight off the demolished slum Clearance scheme streets too. The age is slightly out on the news reports, but it could well be... I may just have to wait for the 1921 census to turly know.
