A prominent feature on this road, a side road that joins Watnall Road in the distance, is the Hucknall & District Orthopaedic Clinic. It was built in 1929 on land donated by Sir Julien Cahn (1882-1944) the entrepreneur, philanthropist and cricket supporter who later became the 1st Baronet of Stanford-upon-Soar. It was set up for the benefit of Hucknall residents with funds raised by public subscription and it still houses NHS physiotherapy services for patients from Hucknall and its catchment area, one that includes Bulwell and Eastwood. In 1931, having purchased Newstead Abbey, Byron's former home, he donated it to Nottingham Corporation. At one point Cahn lived in Papplewick, a village just a few miles from Hucknall.
