Description: Houses in Woodville Place, off Bloomsgrove Street in Radford. The houses on the left have frameknitter windows on the upper floors. The stocking -frame was a hand operated machine about the size of a small loom or small upright piano and was used to knit stockings or hose, and other small articles of clothing like hats gloves and scarves or mufflers from wool, silk and cotton. The frame work knitters worked at home, and either had a frame shop or workshop in the garden or a special room often on the top floor of the house with a special extra wide window to let in the maximum light for the stockinger to work. Bloomsgrove Street is a very small street running off Ilkeston Road. Woodville Place has since been demolished.
