Hucknall - Nottinghamshire
The side and rear elevation of the Hucknall & District Orthopaedic Clinic from Belle-Isle Road. The clinic was built in 1929 on land donated by Sir Julien Cahn (1882-1944) the entrepreneur, philanthropist & cricket supporter and 1st Baronet of Stanford-upon-Soar. It was built for the benefit of Hucknall residents with funds raised by public subscription and still provides physiotherapy services for patients from Hucknall and its catchment area including Bulwell and Eastwood. At one point Cahn lived in Papplewick, a village just a few miles from Hucknall. There have been several attempts to close it down on the grounds that it is not cost effective. Another argument put forward against keeping it open was that there was a shortage of parking space. As a result a disused garage at the rear of the premises was demolished in order to provide space for another dozen cars.

Hucknall - Nottinghamshire
A prominent feature on this road, a side road that joins Watnall Road in the distance, is the Hucknall & District Orthopaedic Clinic. It was built in 1929 on land donated by Sir Julien Cahn (1882-1944) the entrepreneur, philanthropist and cricket supporter who later became the 1st Baronet of Stanford-upon-Soar. It was set up for the benefit of Hucknall residents with funds raised by public subscription and it still houses NHS physiotherapy services for patients from Hucknall and its catchment area, one that includes Bulwell and Eastwood. In 1931, having purchased Newstead Abbey, Byron's former home, he donated it to Nottingham Corporation. At one point Cahn lived in Papplewick, a village just a few miles from Hucknall.

Hucknall - Nottinghamshire
Two churches can be seen on the other side of Watnall Road (B6009) in this picture that was taken from the Police Station forecourt obliquely opposite, albeit that the nearest one has been converted into a shop. Given that the other church in the picture is Watnall Road Baptist Church and that the other traditional Christian denominations have their own premises elsewhere in Hucknall, it has proved difficult to date to deduce who owned and used this particular church in the past.

Old gas lamp
I'm not sure how old this is, but the reference to a barbers Shop certainly predates the current use of the building which is a sports trophies shop.
