Hucknall Road: new housing on the Forman's site
The Thomas Forman printing factory was built in 1926 and closed in 1998. The site, which was large and included a sports ground, has been developed as housing. The streets are named for printers and typefounders, or after things connected with printing and stationery: Caxton Road (ahead), Plantin Road and Jensen Way, Ledger Walk, Parchment Mews and Serif Close. The neo-classical frontage of the factory on Hucknall Road remains, to the left of this viewpoint.

The ICCA (formerly Thomas Forman & Sons Ltd)
The neo-classical frontage of the former Thomas Forman printing works (1926), now the Indian Community Centre Association - http://www.theicca.co.uk/default.htm - and also containing flats and a branch of Tesco Express. Thomas Forman (for whom my mother - and briefly my father - worked) specialised in the colour printing of such things as railway posters, calendars, labels and chequebooks. The factory closed in 1998 and much of the site behind this neo-classical frontage has been developed as housing in recent years - see
