Occupation Road
This and a couple of adjacent streets of terraced houses formed an isolated community, well separated from the main part of Hucknall, for several decades before the main part of the current Hazelgrove estate was developed. The reason for the initial development is the proximity to the old Hucknall No.1 Colliery, for whose workers they would almost certainly have been provided.

Footpath along the tip
Not formally designated as a right of way, but the stiles are clearly official. The track crossing is however a footpath. The land here is regenerated spoil heap from the former Hucknall No.1 colliery.
