An early development of terraced houses from the time when the coal industry really got going in Hucknall. An interesting mixture of stone and brick construction, it appears that the stone is used only for the façade with the remainder of the building being of brick construction. This can be seen on the gable end where the three storey houses start, but was also clear from other observations.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This style of built-in posting box has become more uncommon since the Royal Mail was separated from the Post Office. Here the internal collection facilities have been replaced by an external door, but the original brass slot has survived.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The rear of the Watson Fothergill Hucknall Coffee Tavern and Institute. The front elevation http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1751761 is much altered and probably as a result the building is not listed and is badly neglected.

Dist:0.2km<br/>On High Street. Commissioned as an alternative to the town centre public houses, it is the work of Nottingham based architect Watson Fothergill. The ground floor is much altered for retail use and rendering has been applied covering what undoubtedly would have been bare and banded brickwork. Probably as a result of these unsympathetic alterations this is the first Fothergill building I have photographed that is not listed.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Not my title - this is the correct name of this modern sculpture in Hucknall Market Place. Created by artist Liz Lemon, it is designed to reflect Hucknall's industrial heritage, with other references to lacemaking and Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Lord Byron, credited with designing the precursor to the modern computer. The crown is formed from the mixer from a Rolls Royce Tay jet engine emphasising the local contribution that Rolls Royce's factory makes to the local economy.
