Just behind the viewpoint Forge Lane crosses the B6407, the Pleasley to Shirebrook road. Ahead the lane leads to Pleasley Vale. This metalled surface is one of two short sections of Forge Lane that remain in this condition, the other section being adjacent to some industrial units near Pleasley Vale. Although this is now a bridleway an OS map dated 1937-61 from the National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=53.1841&lon=-1.2291&layers=10&right=osm shows Forge Lane as being a single-track road between the B6407 and Pleasley Vale. *** See also this photograph by Michael Patterson:- Image, which shows the same section of Forge Lane but which was taken some twelve years earlier.
