What life is like in 'quiet' Nottinghamshire hamlet next to A46

Residents have shared what it is like living in a rural hamlet that's next to one of the county's busiest roads. Brough, near Newark, is a small hamlet in Nottinghamshire that is home to only a handful of houses and farms next to the A46.

The hamlet used to be located adjacent to the busy carriageway, but has now been bypassed. Brough resident, Rebecca Steeples, 45, has lived in the village on and off for most of her life.

She said: "My parents moved to Brough 43 years ago from Bridgford, Nottingham, into a derelict house that had no water or electricity, but they loved the location and the ruralness of Brough. It was tough in the beginning and at the time the the A46 was running right by the side of the house."
