Oil Seed Rape at Cotgrave
Cotgrave was one of the most southerly coal mining villages in the Nottinghamshire coal fields opened in the 1960s. A huge National Coal Board owned housing estate was built to the south and east of the village to accommodate hundreds of "immigrant" miners from the closing Scottish and North Eastern mines.

Barton bus stop
This odd looking concrete post was a design of bus stop pole specific to the local bus operator, Barton Transport.
At one time the largest independent* operator of bus services in the UK, it even had its own concrete casting plant where these distinctive posts were produced. Timetable panels would be attached to the flat areas. Their demise really started when a nationally agreed standard for bus stops was introduced in the 1970s, requiring a plate with a standard bus logo to be displayed to enable parking restrictions at bus stops to be enforceable. 40 years on a small number of these sturdy objects still survive.
