History behind the street/road names
replied on: 10/8/2005 2:31:07 PM

MANSFIELD ROAD
this was the main turnpike road in the heanor
area. it was originally known as heanor Lane and ran from the derbyshire - nottinghamshire
boundary to loscoe road, but in 1764 when it became part of the Derby to mansfield twnpike road, it received its present name. This road began in the chester green area of derby and ran through smalley, heanor, eastwood and underwood to mansfield, the route mostly followed by the present A 608 road.
