EAST BRIDGFORD: Gliding site
Local area view
Note: This picture is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: The Nottingham Gliding Club
Location: Mr Ellis's Farm, Kneeton Road, East Bridgford. Roughly 7.5nm ENE of Nottingham city centre
Period of operation: Unknown, but 1931 certainly
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for finding this information. Looking at a map it seems pretty obvious that Mr Ellis's farm would have been on Kneeton Road just north east of East Bridgford village. The note in the 1931 directory of gliding sites mentions that gliding takes place on Sundays, weather permitting.
As always, if anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
