Colwick Road bus terminus
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.

Colwick Road turning circle, Sneinton
This turning circle was used initially by trolleybuses, and later by motorbuses, as the terminus of the Colwick Road route, which continued across Nottingham city centre to Bulwell Hall (with alternate journeys diverted to serve Rise Park when that estate was constructed). For many years now, the route serving Colwick Road has continued to Gedling via Netherfield, but this turning circle still sees use when the level crossing just out of frame to the right is closed and a shuttle bus is run to serve Colwick Road. Colwick Woods nature reserve provides the backdrop.

The old bus terminus loop, Colwick Crossing
The terminus initially of Corporation trams and later trolleybuses and motor buses at the City boundary, it ceased to be used when co-ordinated services between the Corporation and Trent Motor Traction were introduced in the early 1980s.

Colwick Road: where the Nottingham Suburban Railway once crossed
The Nottingham Suburban Railway (1889-1951) once crossed high above Colwick Road on a blue-brick arched bridge. The tree in the foreground is where the north abutment was; the footpath to Sneinton Boulevard climbs up where the embankment once was to a partly-filled cutting (see Image]) through the steep hillside.
