Radford, Nottingham
Radford is an inner-city area of Nottingham and former civil parish in the Nottingham district, in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire, England, located just outside the city centre. The appropriate ward of the City of Nottingham Council is Radford and Park which, in 2011, had a population of 21,414. It is bounded to the south by Lenton and to the east by Nottingham city centre, and comprises around 600 acres (240 ha) of land.
St Peter's Church, Radford was given[when?] by William Peveril to Lenton Priory.[citation needed] The church was rebuilt in 1812 at a cost of £2,000. A Wesleyan chapel was built in 1805 and enlarged in 1828. In September 1878 a chapel was built on St Peter's Street by the United Methodist Free Churches at a cost of £1,900. It was closed owing to declining membership and income in June 1947 and purchased by the Evangelical Free Church.
Bentinck Road School opened on 19 November 1880, and was formerly called the Alfreton Road Board School.
Radford Registration District (RD) was created on 1 July 1837 on the introduction of Statutory Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths (BMD) – and was abolished, and absorbed into Nottingham RD, on 1 July 1880.
In 1891 the parish had a population of 38,718. On 1 April 1897 the parish was abolished and merged with Nottingham.
The area has a large ethnic minority population (mainly European, West Indian, African, Arab, Asian, South American, Polish and increasingly Kurdish), and accordingly there are a large number of specialist food and retail shops catering to specific cultures, owing to the relatively cheap nature of housing in the area (and the large number of old Victorian properties converted into flats and bedsits).[citation needed]
In 2021 residents reported that the crime rate was high, although Amy English, neighbourhood policing inspector for the Radford area, said "As a result of this work we have seen a reduction in recorded crime, including robbery and burglary, in the Radford and Park neighbourhood."
Radford has a large student population, most of whom attend the nearby Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham.
