Basford Waterworks was located at the junction of Haydn Road and Hucknall Road at the site now occupied by the Severn Trent Water Authority. The works had a staff of two superindentents who lived in tied houses on the site. The original Victorian houses were demolished in the early 1960s and replaced by this modern pair of semi-detached. Hicknall Road is behind the large sandstone wall on the right. The last time I was there the building was still there but used as offices for the Severn Trent Water Authority.
