Carlton is a Suburb to the east of the city of Nottingham . Carlton is in the borough of Gedling , which is close to Sneinton , Mapperley , and the infamous St Anns . It is near the River Trent in the NG4 postcode.. Carlton is a pleasant suburb, approximately two miles from Nottingham city centre; its main shopping street is Carlton Hill, which has several shopping chains, and smaller shops such as Newsagent s, Chemist s, and Grocer s. There is also a fairly large shopping area in Carlton Square, the traditional centre of Carlton (which is currently undergoing redevelopment) and where the local council for Carlton was based, up until the merger with neighbouring Gedling council. Before that the area was used by Carlton Central Primary School for almost a hundred years up until the 1960s when a piece of masonry fell from the roof into the school assembly area (during the night, fortunately no-one was injured) and the school was demolished and rebuilt on Foxhill Road/Carlton Hill, the council house and the current Carlton Square was built in its place. There is a train station on the on Carlton Hill which was built on top of where the St Paul's primary school stood from around 1880-1983 when it was demolished. The school itself was built next to a graveyard from the 17th Century, which was moved when Tesco was built. House prices in Carlton are on a par with most of Nottingham, ranging from £80,000 to around £250,000. Its most famous resident was the Actor Richard Beckinsale , who was born there in 1947 .
