The (old) Plumpers Hotel sited at the junction with Bawtry Road was rather a sharp turn and I remember as a child when travelling in the car with my parents, my mother always used to pipe up with a very nervous, "Careful Bob! it's a bad turning." which made me duck down in the back seat in fear of impending doom. 

In later years I don't think that turning was as nerve wracking as turning off Tinsley Roundabout when drivers realise they're in the wrong lane for Bawtry Road and others are gathering speed for the M1 slipway. Or coming from Bawtry Road drivers who think they can slip into the traffic on the island. 

After the demise of the steelworks in the area during the 1980's and being in rather an isolated position the Plumpers experienced a big fall off in trade and closed.
