Sookholme, Notts.
This photograph is from the start (or exit) of Bath Lane, a rural lane that'becomes' Wood Lane beyond Sookholme Bath. Ahead, and on the other side of Sookholme Road, is Spring Farm is seen, part of which appears to have been converted into non-agriculturally related residential accommodation. Sookholme Bath, it seems, may well have been the site of a former Roman tile manufacturing site.

Sookholme, Notts.
With 99.9% of the half-mile long Longster Lane behind the photographer, the B6407 is known as Sookholme Road once round this bend. This is a corner of Spring Farm on the left and ahead, between the lamp post and the yellow-border chevron sign, is the start (or termination) of Bath Lane, an unsurfaced rural lane that runs parallel with the southern boundary of Shirebrook Woods. The Shirebrook Woods country park has been created on the site of the former Shirebrook Colliery. Bath Lane is the location of Sookhole Bath - a shallow pool reported to have provided healing for people with rheumatism - and also off the lane, is the site of a former Roman tile kiln.

Bath Lane, Sookholme, Notts.
A view from Longster Lane (B6407) of the access/exit point to Bath Lane. Spring Farm is immediately behind the photographer, on the opposite side of this road. It seems that Bath Lane was so named because of a pool 500 metres further up it that was fed by a spring whose waters were associated with the healing of rheumatism.

Shirebrook Woods, Longster Lane, Sookholme, Notts.
A public car park, off Longster Lane (the B6407), can be found on the other side of these park-name signs. Behind the photographer lies the largest of the five artificially created lakes on this reclaimed pit site. The park's predecessor, Shirebrook Colliery, functioned between 1896-1993.

This view from the rear of the barn of Hall Farm provides glimpses of Sookholme Road (the B6407) curving right and Sookholme Lane sloping upwards on the left. This Grade II-listed barn, that has been converted into residential accommodation, dates from the early and mid C19th. St Augustine’s Church is situated 150 yds along Sookholme Lane.
