Tourist Guide Hucknall
Hucknall, formerly known as Hucknall Torkard, is a town in Nottinghamshire, in the district of Ashfield, England. Historically the town was a centre for mining. The first demonstration of a vertical take-off was made by Rolls-Royce in the town. It was a colliery town from 1861 to 1986. During the 19th and 20th centuries, coal was discovered and mined which brought increased wealth to the town along with the construction of three railway lines.
The city was once a thriving market town, and the parish church St. Mary Magdalene is its focal point.
Hucknall is situated 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Nottingham on the west bank of the Leen Valley, and the town's highest point is Long Hill which is 460 feet (140 meters) above the sea-level. According to the Census of Nottinghamshire County Council in 2001, the population was 29,704 and the total households were 12,427.
