The book: A snapshot of Hucknall in the 21st Century, aims to celebrate and promote the fascinating town and surrounding villages, and is a collaboration of information from members of the group.

Hucknall was historically a centre for framework knitting and then for mining. The town is notable as the site where Rolls-Royce made the first demonstration of vertical take-off (for a plane). It is also the final resting place of Lord Byron and his estranged daughter, the mathematician Ada Lovelace.

The launch takes place on Saturday 25th September at Hucknall Library on the Market Place from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm. Councillor Tom Pettengell, Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council and Councillor Mick Parker of Ashfield District Council will both be in attendance at the launch together with the Chairman of the Hucknall Round Table.
