Four roads converge here at the point formerly known as the Market Place. Vehicles on this, "the Oxton Road" (the B6386), can continue ahead and join the A6097 (the Epperstone By-Pass) a few miles ahead. The centre of Southwell lies a 4-5 minute drive away behind the photographer. The row of cottages behind the tall tree are all that remain of sixteen back-to-back properties that are said to have been used as dwellings and places of work by "stockingers" (stocking frame operators) during the late C16th.
