Linby, Nottingham, NG15 8JQ

Linby is a small village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire, England. It lies within the NG 15 postal district and is situated close to the town of Hucknall, which lies immediately to the south‑west. The village developed around mills that once operated on the River Leen, and the name Linby is derived from that river. Two small streams, known locally as Linby Docks, run along both sides of the main street, giving the area a distinct riverside feel. According to the 2011 census the civil parish had a population of 232, which grew to 676 by the 2021 census, reflecting modest but steady growth. The setting remains largely rural, with traditional village amenities and a close‑knit community character. Residents benefit from the peaceful surroundings while remaining within easy reach of larger towns for further services.
