In 1935 it gained parts of Linby and Papplewick from the Basford Rural District. Its neighbours were the county borough of Nottingham to the south and the Basford Rural District to the north, east and west.

Since 1974 the town of Hucknall has formed part of the Ashfield district, with Linby and Papplewick becoming part of Gedling. 53°02′02″N 1°12′05″W / 53.0339°N 1.2013°W / 53.0339; -1.2013
