The 'old' Chesterfield Road can be seen branching off the A617 (Chesterfield Road North) at the foot of this flight of steps. Behind the photographer an unmade footpath continues to the top of this bank and joins the start (or end) of a footpath that obliquely crosses a ploughed field and to link with a track that connects the Pleasley end of Woburn Lane, Pleasley Hill with a private residence called Radmanthwaite Cottage situated at the termination of this lane. The word Radmanthwaite seems to be derived from two words, a radman being a tenant who owed his lord the duty of an armed escort + thwaite being a clearing in a wood or land reclaimed for arable purposes.
