This turning off Bestwood Road (the B683), as one proceeds in the direction of Hucknall Road (the A611), passes under a former railway line. Nowadays the bridge carries a nature trail across this farm track ahead allowing walkers and cyclists to join the Robin Hood Trail nearer to Bestwood Village. An imaginary inverted U shaped loop encapsulates this boundary marker, tying it - and this stretch of the B683 - into the administrative jurisdiction of Nottingham City Council. The photograph was taken from a spot that lies within Ashfield Borough Council's territory. The territory to the left of this cast iron marker is controlled by Gedling Borough Council.
