This was once the A610, the main road from Nottingham to Heanor - a tedious drag for motorists passing through a series of towns of which Kimberley was one. The by-pass changed all that and this road is now unclassified. From 1913 electric trams used this route, running between Nottingham and Ripley, until the system was replaced by trolleybuses in 1933. The trolleybus service ceased in 1953 but frequent Trentbarton buses still follow the old route.
