One wing of the Windles Square cottages. These were built in 1834 and named after their builder, Windles Smith. Unlike most other framework knitter's (or "stockinger's") cottages these have their larger windows on the ground floor in order to be able to benefit from the maximum amount of prevailing sunlight. Originally the "Square" consisted of a complex of three rows but the third was demolished in the 1960s. The complex was renovated by the Nottingham Buildings Preservation Trust in 1974. This service road joins the main road, i.e. Bonner Lane, in the distance.
