Calverton Village Hall
I have been unable to discover the original use of this building. There is a stone in the right hand gable displaying an open book inscribed 'Bible', so it may well have been a Sunday School.

Pinfold, Calverton, Notts.
A former C17th pinfold (a.k.a. stray animal pen) at the junction of Main Street and Mews Lane. The white gate marks the entrance into the village hall car park. The house beyond the pinfold, with the generous windows that allowed in as much natural light as possible, was a former frame-knitter's (stocking knitter's) house. By the early 1800s there were said to be more than 400 stocking frames in homes in Calverton. Some cottagers had four or five frames in one room. The heart of the village, with its churches, library and shops, lies behind the photographer.

Calverton NG14, Notts.
At this junction with George Street the village pinfold on Main Street is quite obvious and beyond it, a former frame-knitting establishment, i.e. cottage and workshop/s with the characteristically large windows. Behind the pillar-box at the junction with Mews Lane is the former village hall. This was sold in 2009/10 to raise monies for a new community centre.

130 Main Street
A small hosiery factory, which would have been equipped with framework knitting machines, a bit of an exception when most of the work was done in private dwellings. Built c1830, with the nearer end possibly slightly later. Listed Grade II. In use as a hosiery factory until 1944, later a printing works, currently a curtains and blinds supplier.
