In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Nuthall like this:
NUTHALL, a village and a parish in Basford district, Notts. The village stands 2 miles W of Bulwell r.station, and 4½ N W by N of Nottingham; and has a post-office under Nottingham. The parish contains also the hamlets of Awsworth, Hempshill, and Cinder-Hill; and includes the tract of Shilo, formerly extra-parochial. ...
Acres, 1, 644. Real property, £4,066; of which £1,000 are in mines. Pop. in 1851, 685; in 1861, 842. Houses, 180. The increase of pop. arose from the opening of a colliery and of iron-stone quarries. The property is subdivided. The manor of Nuthall belongs to R Holden, Esq; and that of Awsworth to the Earl of Stamford. Nuthall Temple, the seat of R. Holden, Esq., is modelled after a celebrated Italian villa, and stands in a fine park. An extensive colliery and a stone quarry are at Cinder-Hill. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Lincoln. Value, £350* Patron, R. Holden, Esq. The church is old, was repaired in 1860, and has a tower. The p. curacy of Awsworth is a separate benefice. A parochial school is in Nuthall; and a Primitive Methodist chapel and a school-charity of £5 are in Awsworth.
