Hucknall Road: new housing on the Forman's site

The Thomas Forman printing factory was built in 1926 and closed in 1998. The site, which was large and included a sports ground, has been developed as housing. The streets are named for printers and typefounders, or after things connected with printing and stationery: Caxton Road (ahead), Plantin Road and Jensen Way, Ledger Walk, Parchment Mews and Serif Close. The neo-classical frontage of the factory on Hucknall Road remains, to the left of this viewpoint.
