The Leen Valley is the wide valley formed by the
River Leen within the county of
Nottinghamshire. The Leen Valley was once an important centre for
hosiery and
coal mining industries. Today, although light manufacturing continues, the valley is increasingly becoming part of the
commuter belt for
Nottingham. Settlements within the valley include
Annesley,
Newstead,
Papplewick,
Linby,
Hucknall,
Bulwell,
Sherwood,
Basford,
Lenton, and
Nottingham. Leen Valley is also the name of one of the Council
wards, which lies within Nottingham, and a housing estate in the north of Nottingham, which is located in a valley created by the Leen within the larger Leen Valley area.(!)
