Re: Anyone in Nottingham?
The Raleigh picture archive put online by Notts Libraries might give some idea:

Re: Anyone in Nottingham?
Last night Google news came up with a BBC bitesize link about historical information you can get from place names. What I found out about Nottingham's name is the origin from the Norman tendency to name places after who got gifted the land. Ham being village I think and so its Notting's village. Only the family gifted the land was called Snotting apparently. The Normans, like vikings, often dropped letters which is just as well for Snotting's Ham!
Sorry for the digression.

It was named after Snot or Snotta, rather than Snotting.

Re: Anyone in Nottingham?
Perhaps let BBC bitesize know their article is wrong or at least misleading. However the dropping of the S was the Norman bit which was kind of my point that the city of snottingham could have still been in use.Jdsk wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 8:18amSnottingham was Anglo-Saxon, and existed long before the Norman invasion.Tangled Metal wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 7:20am Last night Google news came up with a BBC bitesize link about historical information you can get from place names.

Which parts of that do you think are "wrong" or "misleading"?

Re: Anyone in Nottingham?
The city is named after an Anglo Saxon named Snotta, who sailed up the Trent and decided it would be a good place for a settlement. Ham = home or homestead, Inga = the people of. So Snotta Inga Ham is the home of the people of Snotta.Tangled Metal wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 7:20am Last night Google news came up with a BBC bitesize link about historical information you can get from place names.

Any born and bred Nottinghamian knows this! I’m fairly sure I was taught it at junior school, 50 odd years ago.
There is an area of Nottingham, east of the city centre called Sneinton, which also relates to Snotta.
