A tight turning circle, hemmed in between houses and shops and with a drop of several feet from its north side, which has had to cope with the growth of buses over the years of its life. Here, one of Nottingham City Transport's large fleet of Scania/East Lancs (later Optare) OmniDekkas, almost 12m long, has just fitted around the turning circle and waits to return to the city centre on route 45. In the distance, the slag heaps of Gedling Colliery (closed in 1991) can be seen.
