On Plains Road opposite the top of Somersby Road. In the 1970s, half of Nottingham City Transport's Mapperley service terminated here, with the other half running to and from Gedling via Westdale Lane. By the mid 1990s, NCT's remaining buses to this part of Mapperley had been extended along Somersby Road (behind the camera) towards Arno Vale, Plains Estate, and Arnold. Some years ago, the turning circle was turned into the present small patch of grass.
