The Griffin's Head pub is seen here at the crossroads with the B6011, with the majority of Moor Road (the B683 road) behind the photographer. The road stretches back for several miles behind the photographer forming a T junction with the A611 (Nottingham-Hucknall) Road. The pub is Grade II-listed, having been built during the 18-19th century. The Griffin's head symbol may have stemmed from this creature's appearance on the family crest of the Montagu's of Papplewick Hall, one of whom was Charles Montagu the M.P., who died in 1759.
