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]
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 £3,980,000 in 2023)[3] designed by Marriott Ogle Tarbotton.[6]
