A bus waits in the turning circle described in the timetable as "Belle Isle, Sharp House", although (as far as I can gather) Belle Isle is actually a fair way along the road leading away from the photographer and there does not appear to be a structure bearing the name "Sharp House". When I discovered this, I surmised that there had probably been a block of flats called Sharp House near the turning circle, and that the bus stop had retained the name when said block was demolished. Is this accurate, or did I just not look hard enough?
