Sneinton: Dale Street and Belvoir Hill
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 15 Apr 2011
The pleasing three-storey brick house on the corner of Belvoir Hill has large frameknitter's windows on the top floor and dates from the time when net and hosiery making were cottage industries. The large windows made the workshops light enough for fine work to be done for long hours in the years before gas and electric lighting. The house has outlived a lot of the Victorian tenement factories built to supersede it.
