The A52 is a major road in the East Midlands, England. It runs east from a junction with the A53 at Newcastle-under-Lyme near Stoke-on-Trent via Ashbourne, Derby, Stapleford, Nottingham, West Bridgford, Bingham, Grantham, Boston and Skegness to the east Lincolnshire coast at Mablethorpe. It is approximately 147 miles (237 km) long.
The stretch between The Pentagon, Derby and Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham is now also known as Brian Clough Way in honour of the late Derby County and Nottingham Forest manager.
The road used to start at Nantwich in Cheshire, but was renumbered to become the A500, A531, and the B5500, although the A500 sections are now unclassified.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“The rangey bough anticipated fruit
With snowballs cupped in every opening bud.
The road alone maintained itself in mud....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
