Ken's Newsagents and Off Licence, Selston
Oddly, this area of Selston is known as Skegness. It's a long way from the sea.
St Helen's Church, Selston Green
"The stone structure which now comprises St Helen’s church was started in the middle of the 12th century, and it seems to have been built in its entirety over a fairly short period of time. Several items within the church date from this early period of its history, including the Norman font and two carved stone slabs. It would seem that Selston was fairly wealthy at this stage, as in 1171 the parish was sending two shillings a year as a Pentecostal offering to Southwell, a high amount compared to other parishes in the area."

Sad-looking pub in Pinxton
This pub was put on the market a couple of years ago, but there do not seem to have been any buyers.
Footpath to Kirkby Park
The path is in the Erewash valley and the river flows where the gate can be seen ahead. A bit of Lower Portland Farm can be seen in the trees.
River Erewash
The river is noted for marking the boundary between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire but this early part of its course is all in Nottinghamshire.
Path to Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Kirkby-in-Ashfield is seen on the hill ahead. The path runs beside the River Erewash.
Path to Pinxton
The path follows the north side of the River Erewash. It is about to go under a dismantled railway which used to service Bentinck Colliery.
Footpath to Selston
The path has to cross the River Erewash here, before running alongside the M1 motorway for a bit.
