Colliery Houses
Built around 1875 by the colliery company for its workers. The distinctive use of red and black bricks is very much of its period.

Check the date!
Memorial stone, Hucknall Baptist Church. Although a year date in roman numerals is common, the day date is less so.
Careful study shows that the mason got carried away when inscribing the year, and has turned the final I into an L. Taken literally, this would mean a date of 1875 plus 50 years.

Hucknall Baptist Church
A fine display of Victorian Gothic-inspired architecture, dating from MDCCCLXXVL according to the date stone http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1906378 . Presumably a mistake for 1876.

Victorian buildings on Watnall Road
The nearer building was probably a Wesleyan Methodist chapel - there are identifiable Baptist and Primitive Methodist churches just up the same street. Beyond is the former Public Hall of 1875 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1906373 ; both are now converted to retail use.

Hucknall Torkard Public Hall
A reminder that the proper full name of this town is Hucknall Torkard, although the second part has long fallen out of normal use. The hall dates from the time of the major expansion of the small market town into a thriving mining community.

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.
