As suggested by its name this road was previously housed a Society of Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. The former meeting house still exists 50 metres or so behind the photographer and is called Quaker Lane Hall. After a period of use as the regular meeting place of the local Women's Institute it was converted into a private residence. Previously it seems that Quakers in Farnsfield were well represented as a religious group, with many more Quaker residents for its size than a good many larger villages and towns in Nottinghamshire. Ahead is Main Street.
