The parish church of St Mary stands in the market place, in the town centre, as it has done for a thousand years. It is the burial place of Lord Byron, the poet, and Ben Caunt the 19th C. prize fighter. It forms a tourist attraction in the town, and the churchyard has been landscaped to form an open space amenity for the local area.

No 12 Baker Street, on the edge of the market place, is an old stone building dating from the pre-industrial age. It stands at the side of Baker Street Brook, a small stream which flows through the town centre. It is occupied by 'Goldfinger' jewellers.

Nos 12 and 14 Baker Street are ornamented victorian buildings. They too face across the main road into the market place.

The market place is used as a car park for much of the week. The market is held on a Friday and attracts shoppers to the town from the surrounding district. We can see the result of recent environmental improvements - paving, seats and trees.

The corner of the High Street and Baker Street was widened and redeveloped in the late 1980s. The buildings echo the style of 19th C shops around them. Traffic lights were installed on this busy corner in about 1980.

No 62 High Street was rebuilt in the 1960s. It had two sales floors, but only the ground floor is now used. It forms a sharp contrast to the bank next door.

No 60 High Street is another ornamented victorian building. It is used as a bank

Also in this part of the High Street is the 'Red Lion' public House, which is another survivor from the pre-industrial development of Hucknall.

This covered arcade of shops was included in a 1980s development - 'Safeway' supermarket and a small parade of convenience outlets. The large car park behind the shops is a useful amenity.

No 52 High Street is a former double-fronted house, used by 'Boots' the Chemist. It stands at the entrance to Albert Street. This part of the High Street has narrow pavements and a narrow road, it is congested for much of the time.

Narrow pavements and queueing traffic also characterise the High Street outside no 32. The entrance to another street of terraced houses, (Wollaton Street) forms a further source of congestion.

This range of stone buildings stands within yards of the High Street, behind the 'Plough and Harrow' public house. It is another reminder of the pre-industrial development of Hucknall. Formerly a blacksmith's workshop, it is now occupied by a Veterinary practice.

The corner of Station Road and High Street is occupied by this splendid terrace of Victorian shops.

A short distance down Portland Road, in the transition zone around the CBD, we can find these two Edwardian mansions, now converted to office use - an undertakers and a dental practice.

This car park has been created by the demolition of Manor Farm. The site is on the route of the proposed Inner Relief road, which is planned to be built (eventually !).

This is Hucknall station, on the recently re-opened Robin Hood rail link to Nottingham and Worksop (via Mansfield). To the right is the derelict site of Hucknall No2 colliery, scheduled to be developed for housing and retail. To the left are the landscaped 'pit-tips'. The car park is due to be enlarged when it forms the terminus of the Nottingham Express Transit (NET (tram)) route.
