The Shireoaks Enterprise Centre is seen here backing onto Bellamy Road. (The centre and the flats face arable farm land). The road branching off it to the right is Ruddington Road. Sixteen supported-business starter units were created within two semi-derelict blocks of flats in late 2008/early 2009 at a cost of £400,000. This stretch of Bellamy Road - as far as the eye can see and extending 100 yds behind the photographer too - was created on top of the former Old Newark Road. As a result, this section of it has taken the name Bellamy Road, embracing the fact that it is now part of the Bellamy Road Estate. Behind the photographer Bellamy Road ends and what remains of the former Old Newark Road continues as an unmaintained track for a mile or so until it joins the A6191 (a.k.a. Southwell Rd East). In the distance Bellamy Road can be seen curving off to the right, whereas the Old Newark Road continues straight ahead in the direction of the A6117 Road (10 mins walk away) and the A60 - the main Mansfield-Nottingham - Road (30 minutes walk away).
