This open space on the south side of Hartley Road in Radford may have been the site of a turning circle used by buses on the old Nottingham City Transport route 58, which terminated hereabouts. The old 58 replaced the trams between here and Nottingham city centre via Radford, Lenton and Castle Boulevards, but was itself replaced by circular routes 8 and 9 around 1980, meaning buses no longer terminated here. The distinctively styled high rise flats in the background stand out all the more thanks to the rarity of such structures in Nottingham.
