C18th terraced housing facing The Square, with Wollaton Road ahead. All the tenants occupying these worked for the Wollaton Estate, either on the land, at the Hall or in the colliery. In 1863 apparently 59 people lived around The Square, thus if this was the case these houses would have been extremely overcrowded. The rents for these properties were over a shilling per week.
