Sneinton history

The area that is now Nottingham was settled by the Anglo-Saxon chieftain “Snot” The area east of the city, also settled by Saxons, was called Snottington. In the Domesday Book, Sneinton is referred to as “Notintone” The Norman pronunciation of “Nottingham” stuck, whereas their pronunciation of Nottingham was dropped in favour of “N”

Industrial era

Until the 19th century Sneinton was no more than a village, standing on a high ridge about a mile east of Nottingham town centre. The village was to change dramatically when the principal landowner of the time, the First Earl Manvers, sold off the land between Nottingham and Sneinton to developers. Housing was built on the land in which Nottingham’s factory workers lived.

Modern period

Sneinton has the 11th lowest crime rate out of the 25 Nottingham districts, beating all other comparable inner city areas (such as St Ann’s, the Meadows, and Radford) House prices have risen over the past few decades but housing remains cheaper in Sneinton than in other areas.
