Carrington Street is a street in Nottingham city centre between Nottingham station and Broadmarsh.
The street was laid out by Henry Moses Wood, Surveyor in 1828. [1] The opportunity offered by the construction of this new road was taken to install a large culvert 10 feet (3.0 m) in circumference as a storm drain, to carry water to the River Leen. The River Leen was dredged by approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) to provide additional capacity. [2]
In 1842 a bridge was constructed over the Nottingham and Beeston Canal to provide access to Nottingham Carrington Street railway station. The bridge costing £6,000 (equivalent to £600,000in 2021) [3] was partly sponsored by the Midland Counties' Railway. [4] It contained an inscription which read:
This bridge was commenced in August, 1841, J.M.B. Pigot M.D., Mayor, and completed in October, 1842, R. Morley Esq., Mayor, H.M. Wood, Architect. [5]
The bridge was widened in 1904 when the new Nottingham station was erected.
Having crossed the canal, the street arrived at Nottingham Carrington Street railway station. In 1846 the Derby to Nottingham railway line was extended to Lincoln and this necessitated a level crossing over Carrington Street. A wooden footbridge was provided to alleviate delays. This remained in use until the construction of a viaduct over the railway in 1867-68 at a cost of £35,000 (equivalent to £3,350,000in 2021) [3] designed by Marriott Ogle Tarbotton. [6]
In 1878 the Nottingham and District Tramways Company Limited opened a horse drawn tramway service between Trent Bridge and St Peter's Church. This was electrified in 1901 and tramway services continued provided by Nottingham Corporation Tramways until withdrawn in 1936.

Nottingham Carrington Street railway station was the first railway station in Nottingham, opened in 1839 by the Midland Counties Railway. Initially there were two lines with a central platform as well as side ones according to Billson. Victorian civil engineer Francis Whishaw described the station as:
"The elevation next to the road to Nottingham is of plain but neat design. It consists of a central portion and two wings; the central portion contains the entrance hall, which is of the whole height of the building. In the right wing is the booking office for first and second class passengers, with windows at which the passengers receive their tickets; the third class passengers obtain their tickets at a counter fixed in the hall. In the left-wing is the boardroom and clerks offices; and in a building projecting towards the passenger shed in the rear is a waiting room for ladies. The [train] shed is covered with a light iron roof in two spans, which is supported on the departure side by a brick wall, in which there are eight windows; and on the arrival side, and along the middle line, by two rows of cast iron columns, nine in each row."
