In 1878 a police station was opened on the north side of the road where it remained until the 1970s when it moved into The Grange which is almost opposite.

The most significant landmark constructed is Beeston Methodist Church which was built between 1900 and 1902 and stands on the south side of the road.

The western end of the road is marked outside the Hop Pole public house where the street sign is adjacent to that for High Road, Chilwell.

The northern western side of the road is bounded by two conservation areas in Beeston: the St John's Grove, Beeston and the Cottage Grove estate.

Between 2012 and 2015, almost the entire length of the road was reconstructed as part of the extension of Nottingham Express Transit.
