Origins of Gotham Street Names
Fairham Avenue
Fairham Avenue was completed during 1968-9 by Gotham Properties with the building of 14 houses.
Fairham Brook, from which the avenue takes its name, rises close to the Fosse Way near Widmerpool. From here it flows to Bunny before joining the most eastern point of Gotham's parish boundary. It then wends its way north-west forming a boundary with Ruddington with the brook draining, eventually, into the Trent.
