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.

Park Drive railway bridge
The blue brick parapet on the left hand side of the road is now the only evidence that this is where the road crossed the former Great Central Railway main line. The railway trackbed has long since been completely overbuilt with housing. Interestingly, older maps show the bridge with its approaches, including the road junction on the far side, completely unconnected to the road network. Presumably there were already some ideas as to how the road network was expected to evolve.
