A fine crop of spuds in the foreground! View from Collyer Road.

Hollinwood Lane is several miles long but it is bisected by Main Street, a principal route out of Calverton. Thus the lane is composed of this longer, unmade, section that bisects Ramsdale Park Golf Course (on either side of these hedges) and otherwise serves a private dwelling known as Hollinwood House and a second shorter, asphalted, cul-de-sac section that continues in the opposite direction to serve a Recycling Centre (a.k.a "the local tip"), the Calverton Miners' Welfare Club and a small number of residential properties.

This is the start of the longer of two sections of Hollinwood Lane. Behind the photographer, and on the other side of a crossroads formed with Main Street, a shorter, asphalted cul-de-sac section of Hollinwood Lane. This continues in the opposite direction to serve a Recycling Centre (a.k.a "the local tip"), the Calverton Miners' Welfare Club and a small number of residential properties. Ahead however, this unmade section of the lane cuts through Ramsdale Park Golf Course and then it becomes a rural footpath.

This housing estate at the junction of Main Street (bottom right hand corner) and Hollinwood Lane was completed in the September 2015. Behind the photographer Hollinwood Lane continues as an unmade track that cuts through Ramsdale Park Golf Course. Ahead however, i.e. past the street lamp, Hollinwood Lane becomes a dead end within a mile or so, serving to provide access (only) to a Gedling Council Recycling Centre (a.k.a "the local tip"), Calverton Miners' Welfare Club and a small cluster of older houses.

Straight ahead leads you to Patchings Farm Arts and Crafts Centre, right goes to the site of the old coal-mine and left goes up to a kennels and a golf course.

This appears to follow the line of an old field access footpath. A local resident provides this information: "To many 'old' locals, this footpath is affectionately known as 'Polly's Lane'. It was originally unsurfaced and was therefore often very muddy in damp weather!"

A set of gates leading towards an avenue of low trees or bushes in an otherwise unused field. This field has remained untouched for several years and there is no indication as to why the entrance was created. It sits a 50 metres or so along this cul-de-sac that provides access - on the photographer's right - to a Gedling Council Recycling Centre (a.k.a "a local tip"), to the Calverton Miners' Welfare Club, a new housing development and a small number of older houses.

The western entry to the village on Main Street. The front sign is one of the new style of Nottinghamshire village signs. As well as the medieval church it shows a colliery headstocks, a stocking frame and a tractor, defining the various industries which have supported the village during different eras. The headstocks are strictly not relevant as the colliery had winding towers rather than headstocks.
