The photograph is looking toward the southern end of Forge Lane and the beginning of a metalled surface just beyond the gate. The metalled surface is one of two short sections of the lane that remain in this condition; the other section being near Image’s intersection with the B6407, the Pleasley to Shirebrook road. Beyond the gate the lane passes some industrial units and then shares a junction with Outgang Lane in 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=53.1818&lon=-1.2321&layers=10&right=osm) shows Forge Lane as being a single-track road between the B6407 and Pleasley Vale.
