If you do a google search for "belmont terrace" nottinghamshire the first hit is for an 1864 history/gazetteer for Notts.  First of 5 cites in the book says "Belmont Terrace, Upper Talbot Street".  Perhaps this gives a clue as to its location.

There also appears to be a current "Belmont Close" in Mansfield, Notts.  Is this a possible name change?

HI

According to the 1891 route of the enumeration area for the area of Mansfield district 7 Belmont terrace was filled in the order of Leeming Street, Clumber Street and then came Belmont Terrace.

If your wanting a more uptodate location then try contacting Mansfield/Notts local council.

Hello....

I have a Mansfield Street directory circa 1974 and Belmont Terrace is listed on there so it has not been gone all that long.
The directory has a map and gives it’s location but try as we might we can’t find either, but it is in the area that Wendy mentioned.
In 1974 it mentions Pelidon Engineering Co Horticultural Engineers; Belmont Car Sales; M. J. Bray Car Sales and properties 1 – 20…..I remember businesses and properties where the Wilkinson’s store is now –Clumber Street NG18 1NU….and have a suspicion as to that’s where Belmont Terrace might have been,
I hope it jogs someone else’s memory.

HI


Thanks for giving some names Dizzifish as it helped me to do a search in the Ancestry phone books under the company name of Pelidon (Engineering) Co, Lawnmower Mfrs & Servicing and it was still there right upto at least 1980.

Sadly without a surname a search can't be done on that source.

HI

Hope you dont mind but I was curious so I mailed Mansfield Council and here is their reply

"Belmont Terrace was positioned between Clumber Street and West Hill Drive, Mansfield near to the General Hospital in the town centre. Clumber Street area has been redeveloped, but both Clumber Street and West Hill Drive still remain. There is a large store in the area where Belmont Terrace was now"


So it looks like Shiela a.k.a Dizzfish was correct.

Hello all….

I have managed to have a look at some Mansfield books I have and I found one with an actual black and white aerial photograph taken in about 1931 – it has a drawing to help locate some of the streets and Belmont Terrace is marked on it;

Mansfield and Sutton libraries etc have copies -

Mansfield a pictorial history - Author: Bradbury David J. - ISBN: 1860773370

Regards,
Sheila.
