Southchurch Drive/Farnborough Road junction
This is the northern junction - the two thoroughfares meet again at the southern end of the estate. The proposed tram route will come down Southchurch Drive (from behind the photographer) and sweep right into Farnborough Road. The roundabout will disappear to be replaced with a signal-controlled junction.

Demolition of St Francis Church, Clifton
The church was built during the early 1950s for the then new Clifton estate, largely using volunteer labour to reduce costs. By the 1990s, the fabric of the church was showing signs of deterioration, and with a dwindling congregation no funds were available for repairs. By 2009 the church was closed for worship, although the church hall continued to be used for services. The evangelical Hope Church, which had leased part of the church hall from 2001, moved into its own premises opposite in 2016, and in the same year St Francis merged with Holy Trinity at the southern end of the estate.
See http://southwellchurches.history.nottingham.ac.uk/clifton-st-francis/hintro.php for fuller information, and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1069666 for a view of the church when still in use.
