Albert Street
An early development of terraced houses from the time when the coal industry really got going in Hucknall.
An interesting mixture of stone and brick construction, it appears that the stone is used only for the façade with the remainder of the building being of brick construction. This can be seen on the gable end where the three storey houses start, but was also clear from other observations.

Town Centre Relief Road, Hucknall, Notts.
This 'town centre relief road' is a feature of Hucknall’s current town centre improvement scheme (TCIS). It was opened in November 2016. This is a view from near the town centre end of Annesley Road, looking towards Station Road/Ashgate Road. Buses travelling towards Nottingham from the Wighay area of Hucknall now turn right behind the on-coming white car in order to rejoin High Street. The overall scheme received final funding approval from the Department for Transport in February 2015 (procured using the Medium Scheme Framework 2, through the Midlands Highway Alliance). Carillion/Tarmac JV were awarded the contract and work started on site in January 2016. The work, that includes a pedestrianised section of High Street between Baker Street and Watnall Road, is due to be completed in May 2017. The overall scheme aims to reduce traffic congestion, create an attractive shopping centre, attract new retailers and to assist in the regeneration of the town. Flood prevention measures are being strengthen simultaneously, as part of the project.

Palmer Road Vicinity, Hucknall, Notts.
A row of former (C19th?) malthouse cottages a stone's throw from the newly created mini-roundabout at the town centre end of Annesley Road. A new 'town centre relief road' (opened in November 2016), that provides motorists with a way of avoiding the soon-to-be-opened pedestrianised section of High Street, passes in front of these houses, separated by a new 6ft tall sandstone wall. Prior to the commencement of the town centre improvement scheme - started in January 2016 and due to be completed in May 2017 - these houses were much less visible to passers-by by virtue of being situated in a secluded mill lane (a cul-de-sac). The property occupiers now have a 14-16 ft tarmacked area between their boundary walls and the relief road's boundary wall. Behind them lies Palmer Avenue and another residential street called The Connery.
