Page 1 of Ghost town in Notts......what gives?

Betwixt the A52 and A6097 roundabouts on the A46 (Fosse way) in Nottinghamshire sits an eerie looking ghost town. The closest marked place on google maps is Newton, but when you switch to map view, the area below has no street names at all (?)
Does anyone know the story here?

All I can say is "BUY BUY BUY!" the owner would probably let it go for a few quid in the current recession matey!
Oh!,and when you have rented it all out, don`t forget a few coppers for the bloke who gave you the lead eh?
