Street Cleaning in Plumtree Village, c 1890

Main Road?
Plumtree
England

Plumtree is situated five miles south-east of Nottingham. The Turnpike road from Nottingham to Melton Mowbray used to run through the village, but now by-passes it as the A606. Its population in 1801 was 209; it reached a peak of 338 in 1831, since when it has declined, and is today (1991 census) 180. Plumtree remained a predominantly agricultural community, with little industry and few commuters until people were able to move by bus or car.
