This turning circle would have been used by buses taking miners to and from the erstwhile colliery (out of frame to the right), which now forms part of Bestwood Country Park. Now, it merely enables buses to serve the south eastern part of the village by doing a double run along Park Road from Moor Road. The narrow lane off the turning circle (centre) provides access to a set of domestic garages. The green panel fence hides a new housing development, which the developers seem keen to avoid being associated with what should be a very convenient bus stop for its residents.
