Basford is a northly suburb of Nottingham, and it’s situated close to the River Leen. The Nottingham Express Transit (tram system) links Basford to Nottingham city centre which lies to the south and Hucknall and Bulwell are to the north.
Soap manufacturing was one of the largest industries in Basford for many years. Gerard Bros. established their factory there in the 1890’s and it was then acquired by Cussons Sons & Co. in 1955. The name may sound familiar as they were the manufacturer of the well-known Cussons Imperial Leather soap. Sadly in 2005 the factory closed, and production moved to Thailand.
Basford was also home to three breweries. Shipstones, Basford Brewery and the Prince of Wales Brewery. Basford Brewery was taken over by Shipstones which are the most widely known. The Prince of Wales is long closed; however the building remains and is utilised by Murphy’s Chemical Works.
