With 99.9% of the half-mile long Longster Lane behind the photographer, the B6407 is known as Sookholme Road once round this bend. This is a corner of Spring Farm on the left and ahead, between the lamp post and the yellow-border chevron sign, is the start (or termination) of Bath Lane, an unsurfaced rural lane that runs parallel with the southern boundary of Shirebrook Woods. The Shirebrook Woods country park has been created on the site of the former Shirebrook Colliery. Bath Lane is the location of Sookhole Bath - a shallow pool reported to have provided healing for people with rheumatism - and also off the lane, is the site of a former Roman tile kiln.
