High Road, Beeston is a pedestrianised shopping street in Beeston, Nottinghamshire. It runs from Beeston Square to Humber Road.
The road was constructed as part of the Sawley to Nottingham turnpike road. In the 19th century, it was on the upper side of the village of Beeston and gained its name, High Road by the middle of the 19th century. By the end of the 19th century it was the principal shopping street, and has remained so into the 21st century.
In 1908, Ernest Anthony Bush, the surveyor to Beeston Urban District Council renumbered the properties on the High Road. [1]
Starting in 1965, the western end of the street in Post Office Square was redeveloped. All of the buildings on the south side of the street 2-10, including the National Provincial Bank which was only 30 years old, were demolished .
In 1987 a sculpture of a beekeeper commissioned by Broxtowe Borough Council and designed by Sioban Coppinger was installed in the street. [2] In 1989 the council installed a second piece of sculpture at the western end of the High Road in Beeston Square. Water Head was designed by Paul Mason.
In 2009 the pedestrian street was refurbished [3] with new paving and street furniture.
