Cossall

From near the old aqueduct of the Nottingham Canal, looking east across what was once Cossall Marsh. The land was formerly called Cossall 'Blob', as until 1901 when it was drained, marsh marigolds grew here (which were commonly known as 'Mayblobs'). In 1902, at the time of the coronation of King Edward VII, the road was widened, the marsh drained, and the new road was called 'Coronation Road'. 'Cossall Blob' as it was known was cottages/land set back from the road on Newtons Lane. It is still shown on many maps including a fairly recent Estate Publications, Nottingham Super Red Book.
