Dist:0.3km<br/>This part of Nottinghamshire still retains quite a number of tradition signpost, often like this one, of concrete with the fingers slotted in. Here the Nottingham and Derby fingers are of an older generation, showing distances to the nearest quarter mile. The third finger is of more recent date and shows sloppy attention to detail. Sutton Bonington is misspelt with a double n, and the letters have been set so that they disappear into the upright. On the other side, the blank space is at the upright end, so it looks as if the same draft information was applied to both sides without taking this factor into account!

Dist:0.4km<br/>A nice example of a boxed wooden pump in its pumphouse, although sadly the pump handle is missing.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A view of the complete pump house. The spout is at the rear of the central column, and the handle would have been on the left but is now missing.
Behind can be seen some of the cottages built in the 19th century by the owner of Kingston Hall, Lord Belper (Edward Strutt).
