The foot of this flight of steps is on the side of the A117 Road (Chesterfield Road North) opposite the 'old' Chesterfield Road junction (obliquely opposite The White Swan pub). Ahead is the start (or end) of a footpath that crosses a ploughed field and joins up with a track from the Pleasley end of Woburn Lane, Pleasley Hill, with a private residence called Radmanthwaite Cottage situated at the termination of the 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.
