The most easterly segment of the Old Newark Road, i.e. from the A6191 (Southwell Road West) to this point (Redruth Drive) peters out here and the former road has been upgraded and renamed as Bellamy Road - for half a mile or so - in order to serve this new-ish housing development. Thus the former Old Newark Road does actually continue straight ahead, albeit under a different guise. The former Old Newark Road then branches off to the left in less than a mile towards the West Nottingham College area of south Mansfield. To be more precise, Bellamy Road (ahead) branches off the Old Newark Road to the right forming a C shaped curve, to join the A6117, with the route of the former "old road" to continue westwards. Arable farmland features behind the hedgerow on the left.
