We always said we lived on Nottingham between Yorkshire and Grayton or if someone wasn't familiar with the area we would say we lived near Harper and Whittier [[or Six Mile). Whittier wasn't exactly Six Mile Road, but the Six Mile bus ran down Whittier.
Six Mile Road / McNichols became Seymour [[and then took a slight curve) and if Seymour hadn't ended at Kelly but continued straight on through the Denby High campus it would have been just south of Britain. So I always thought of Britain as being the equivalent of "Six Mile Road."

I grew up in that neighborhood [[Nottingham between Britain and Morang, as I've previously posted) and lived there in the 60's through 80's but never until this thread have I ever heard of the term "Nottingham Highlands."

In the days of the ONE, DEAR, NEAR, etc. mentioned earlier, our neighborhood association was known as Neighbors United, or NU - I think that was established in about the early 80s or so. This was bounded by Morang, Kelly, Whittier, and Harper. According to the following link [[which also names several other local neighborhoods and will be of interest to the original poster), it's now known as Yorkshire Woods.
