East Stoke, Notts.
With Humber Lane behind the photographer, the Women's Institute hall is seen ahead at the junction with School Lane on the right and Church Lane on the left. Within a minute or so, on foot, the junction with the Fosse Way linking Nottingham and Newark (i.e. the former A46) can be reached. Conversely, a five minute walk left, along Church Lane, leads to Stoke Hall, a Grade II-listed function venue.

East Stoke, Notts.
The Women's Institute premises on School Lane. Opposite this window, on the other side of a T junction, is a minor lane known as Humber Lane. A minute's walk ahead, beyond the white-painted cottages is the Fosse Way (the former A46) that links Nottingham and Newark.

Stoke Hall Wall
This fine boundary wall to the parkland of Stoke Hall is still largely intact both along Church Lane (this view) and the Fosse Road. It is relatively unusual in having the lower courses of stone and the main part of brick. This may be the result of later rebuilding.

School Lane (2)
As peaceful as it looks now that the A46 no longer thunders past the lane end.

East Stoke, Notts.
Most of this small village lies behind the photographer on School Lane and Church Lane (each a continuation of the other). This view - from School Lane - however, indicates how the village is bisected by the former A46 road (now known as either the Foss Way or the Fosse Way). The new dual carriageway version of the A46 runs parallel with the Foss/Fosse Way 2-3 mins along the road seen ahead, i.e. Moor Lane (although no access is possible to the new road from Moor Lane). Nottingham is reached by taking a right-hand turning at this junction and Newark via a left-hand turn. The building on the corner, that is currently being redeveloped into residential units, was formerly The Pauncesfot Arms public house. More recently it saw service as a none-to-successful Indian restaurant.
