Market town in Nottinghamshire, England
Hucknall, formerly Hucknall Torkard, is a town in the Ashfield district of Nottinghamshire, England. It was historically a centre for framework knitting and then for mining, but is now a focus for other industries and a dormitory town for Nottingham. It was the site where Rolls-Royce made the first demonstration of a vertical take-off plane. It is also the final resting place of Lord Byron in 1824 and of his estranged daughter, the mathematician and pioneer computer programmer Ada Lovelace in 1852. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
The town is the northern terminus for the Nottingham Express Transit tram system and has a station on the Robin Hood Line. There is also a tram stop at Butler's Hill/Broomhill. The town used to be on the A611, but this now bypasses it to the west with a single-carriageway road with roundabouts and access to junction 27 of the M1, some 3 miles (5 km) away. The tram line was built in 2002–2004 and currently runs from Hucknall to the Toton Lane terminus. Since 2015, Nottingham Express Transit operations moved their stop at Nottingham Station, with trams now passing through to Clifton South and Toton Lane. Hucknall was previously served by the Great Central Main Line with a station. It closed in 1963 and the line in 1967. The site is now occupied by housing and a doctors surgery.
