Kirkby-In-Ashfield, a short walk, and a little bit of history.
A short walk through the oldest part of Kirkby-In-Ashfield. It's a small, post-industrial town with a history stretching back significantly. Settled by the Danish the 'Kirk' in 'Kirkby' comes from the Danish word for 'Church Town'.

Hucknall, formerly known as Hucknall Torkard, is a town in Nottinghamshire, England, in the district of Ashfield. The town was historically a centre for framework knitting and then for mining, but is now a focus for other industries as well as providing housing for workers in Nottingham.
The town is notable as 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 and his estranged daughter, the mathematician and pioneer computer programmer Ada Lovelace.
Hucknall is 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Nottingham on the west bank of the Leen Valley, on land which rises from the Trent Valley in the south to the hills of the county north of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The Whyburn or 'Town Brook' flows through the town centre, and Farleys Brook marks its southern boundary.
The town’s highest point is Long Hill, (although Beauvale estate has a higher elevation and is situated at the base of Leivers Hill, commonly mistaken for Misk Hill) at 460 ft (140 m) above sea-level, with views over the city and Trent Valley, which descends to between 22 and 24 metres AOD, flowing just beyond most of the city centre.
The town is surrounded by farmland or parkland. To the north-west lie Misk Hills and Annesley. To the north-east town are the villages of Linby and Papplewick beyond these two is Newstead Abbey and its grounds, once the residence of Lord Byron. To the west lies Eastwood, birthplace of D. H. Lawrence, and the inspiration for many of his novels. To the east of the town is Bestwood Country Park.
The contiguous settlements of Butler's Hill and Westville often appear as distinct entities on maps, but are generally regarded as part of Hucknall, and are part of its historic and present-day Church of England parish, although the town itself has no civil parish council, however the identity is reinforced by being part of the post town and by being shared wards of Hucknall.
Hucknall was once a thriving market town. Its focal point is the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, next to the town’s market square. The church was built by the Anglo-Saxons and completed after the Norman Conquest, though much of it has been restored during the Victorian era. The medieval church consisted only of a chancel, nave, north aisle and tower but it was considerably enlarged in the Victorian period. In 1872 the south aisle was added and in 1887 the unusually long transepts, while the rest of the building apart from the tower was thoroughly restored.
The town is the northern terminus for the Nottingham Express Transit tram system as well as sharing a station on the Robin Hood Line. There is also a stop at Butler's Hill/Broomhill. The town used to be on the A611 but this has now bypassed the town to the west with a single-carriageway road with roundabouts, with access to junction 27 of the M1, some 3 miles away. The tram line was built from 2002–2004 and currently runs from Hucknall to the Station Street terminus next to Nottingham railway station.

Poorest Towns in England - South Kirkby
Why is South Kirkby so poor? South Kirkby appeared in one of our recent videos about the poorest towns in the UK. It’s in the 10th position on that list. But we have one challenge that we want to address now. We struggled to decide which of the facts about South Kirkby to keep out and which ones to add to the discussion. Interestingly, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to be analyzing the poor towns in England one after the other. Thus, we believe some of those facts left out in that video can be included in this one dedicated to South Kirby as one of the poorest towns in England. We don’t intend to make this video a run-down but an attention grabber.
South Kirkby in Perspective
South Kirkby is a town in the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire This town is governed locally by the administration of South Kirkby and Moorthorpe Town Council. South Kirby forms half of its civil parish. It’s often considered alongside Elmsall when ranked regarding factors indicating or contributing to poverty. Note, therefore, that most of what will be said about South Kirkby applies also to Elmsall.
The towns whose motto is “Friendship, Unity & Progress” appears to have forgotten or to be giving less attention to the third word, ‘progress’ in its motto. And if at all it’s making progress, it’s only toward poverty. You’re likely going to see rejections and denials of the facts we’re about to unfold about this town. We expect that the town council and individual stakeholders there may be inclined to defend their town and action in governing the town; we understand.
Why We Focus on Kirkby
Sincerely, we came across Kirkby when we realized that it’s more prominent than its size on the crime data record for the UK. We were tempted to add it to the list of the most dangerous or crime-ridden towns. But that’s a discussion for another day. Yet, we love to tell you what has been discovered by various bodies researching crime rates in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe.
The average crime rate for 2021 in the town was 119 crimes per 1,000 people. When this is placed side-by-side with West Yorkshire’s overall crime rate, it fares so poorly, even though the overage of that county is bad at 113 crimes per 1000 residents. Yet, the rate in Kirkby and Moorthorpe is 5 percent higher. The same source indicates that for the whole of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, South Kirkby and Moorthorpe is the 51st most dangerous small town. And when placed in the context of all the cities, towns, and villages, it is the 372nd most dangerous.
Take the month of September 2021, for instance, for shoplifting. South Kirkby and Moorthorpe had the highest rate among small towns in West Yorkshire, with 32 crimes reported. And the rate was 2.8 shopliftings per 1,000 inhabitants. Another rampant crime was bicycle theft in this town, as little as it is. The rate of this was more conspicuous in August 2021 when it was named the most dangerous small town in West Yorkshire for bicycle theft. It recorded 2 incidents giving a rate of 0.17 thefts per 1,000 residents.
But more worrisome is possession of arms in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe. In November 2021, it received 3 reports of possession of weapons. This makes it the most dangerous small town that possesses weapons in West Yorkshire that month.
Still on crime; the most common crimes, however, in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe up till now are violence and sexual offenses. The small town reported 585 offenses in 2021. Given that rate, 50 of such offenses were committed in 1,000 residents.
