The relief road will begin on the sharp bend where Baker Street and Annesley Road meet. The shops at this location will probably be demolished, and they are only let on short leases, hence their run-down appearance.

These hoardings (constructed in the 1990s to improve the look of the town centre) conceal a strip of derelict land which will be the route of the new road.

Behind the derelict shops at the corner of Baker street is this row of recently restored 18th century cottages. This is a quiet 'backwater'.

How will the new road impact upon this area of the town centre ?

The proposed route cuts across several roads at right angles. This is Titchfield Street, and the site of the Hucknall Manufacturing Company. It is a typically late victorian mixture of housing/ industrial land uses.

What will happen to people who live in these residential areas ?

Albert Street is another terraced residential street. Here, where Victorian Albert Street joins mid 20th century Perlthorpe Drive, is the route of the proposed route. This is another residential area cut by the route..

Several houses on the route have become so derelict that the council have bought them and demolished them. This car park is on the site of a dozen terraced houses in Albert Street.

A pair of semi-detached houses on Perlethorpe Drive once stood here. At least the site has been landscaped.

How will the new road affect the environment in these inner urban areas ?

Here is another residential street which will be split by the new road. Woolaton Street is a victorian 'cul de sac' leading off the High Street.

This car park in Station Road, opposite the end of Bolsover Street, has been created by the demolition of Manor Farm. The site is directly on the route of the proposed Inner Relief road.
