The rear of Linby-cum-Papplewick C.of E.(VA) School as seen from Quarry Lane. The asphalted road peters out behind the photographer and there is a poorly surfaced road (or track ) extending to the former 14 acre Yellowstone Quarry site. Three businessmen formed "Nottingham Bulwell Stone plc." in 2010 and bought the quarry in order to secure the future supply of Bulwell Stone, something that continues to be in demand in conserving many of Nottingham's Victorian buildings. One such Victorian building is the former village school – now a Girl Guides Association centre, the pitched roof of which can be seen beyond the more modern school’s flat roof.
