A project led by Nottingham's indie theatre Nonsuch Studios is set to showcase another side to Hockley - as you've never seen it before. The project, Lennox Street Unlocked, will launch next week.
The project was awarded funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund to explore and record the history of the last 100 years of the Hockley area of the city centre, from the early 20th century to now. It will highlight how Lennox Street was once crammed with tiny houses where workers lived back-to-back within walking distance of some of the city's biggest factories.
The team at Nonsuch, who have been working with historians in the city, have uncovered a world of change - including those who used to live in the area. Nonsuch, based in Lower Parliament Street, will be hosting two launch events on January 23 - one from 1pm to 3pm and then another from 6pm to 8pm so that history fans can pop by to hear more and discover Lennox Street Unlocked.
