A view of Private Road from the A60 (Mansfield Road, Sherwood) end showing one of its largest and oldest Victorian mansions. The road continues uphill towards the B684 (the Woodborough Road/Mapperley Top area). A certain Samuel Cartledge owned the Mapperley Place Estate that surrounds what is now known as Private Road up to and including Mapperley Mount at the top of this hilly road. He also owned a nearby brickyard and its associated cottages. According to the Poll Book of 1832 nine voters lived alongside this private road and three lived in the "Plains" or the Brickyard Cottages. The Mapperley cricket field was also off Private Road in distant times.
