Archive Photo : May Queen

Picture shows local girls dressed in fine robes and headdresses. It was traditional to have two "queens" - a new queen (most likely to be the girl on the left with the longer cape), and an outgoing queen (the girl in the centre, with the shorter cape). The "queens" were chosen from the local teenagers.

Attendants and retinue were likely to be younger children, and could include paige boys.

These events were often staged at spring and summer festivals, and were sometimes linked to Christian holidays of Easter or Whitsun.

Archive Photo : Town Centre

This aerial photo was taken from the south-east, looking towards Hucknall's town centre.

The Byron Cinema can clear be seen in the centre of the picture, standing at the crossroad of High Street (top-right), Portland Road (bottom-left), Duke Street (middle-left), and Station Road (middle-right).

The L-shaped road (mid-right) is Bolsover Street). In the bottom-right corner of the picture are railway trucks, indicating sidings from the main railway line. This area is now occupied by Corman's Factory Shop, some industrial units, and Tesco petrol station.

To the top of the picture, the parish church can just be seen. Market stalls are also visible.
