Until the late 1970s, City Transport buses terminated at this point, which had been the City boundary. The turnround was built when trolleybuses replaced the trams, which had also run to this point, in the mid 1930s. Beyond this point services were provided by the Trent Motor Traction Company (today's Trent-Barton), but they were not allowed to carry local passengers inside the City area. Changes in regulations, followed by complete deregulation, meant a complete restructuring of services and a terminus at this location became superfluous. It has not now been used for more than 20 years.
