Gedling Village |
 | | Gedling village is all but now swallowed up in the great suburbia of Nottingham, in fact it is very difficult to separate Gedling village from the surrounding areas of Carlton, which also was a village, this, which also has joined the urban scrawl of Nottingham. |
 | | Gedling lies 4 miles north east of the city of Nottingham, and 3 miles East of Arnold at the bottom of the Mapperley Plains Ridge, geographically Gedling is in the middle of England, located only a mile or so from the River Trent, which the Vikings made good use of when visiting Nottingham. |
 | | This was mainly due to the new colliery being built on the outskirts of Gedling and Arnold. |
