I was puzzled by this new building alongside the new Gedling Access Road, which didn't have any immediately obvious function. It clearly isn't a substation or pumphouse - there would be warning signs and ownership notices, and the doorway is too small. Further research after getting back home produced the information that it has been built to house the colony of bats which used to inhabit the old buildings of Glebe Farm which were demolished to make way for the new Gedling Access Road. When the image is viewed at its largest size, it is just possible to make out a number of entry holes - little paired rectangles - in the weatherboarding. The use of weatherboarding to blend the building in with the country park behind is rather negated by the substantial steel fence!
