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.

Excavation, Colwick Woods Park
Here the underlying stratum is the soft yellow sandstone of the Sherwood group, probably excavated by foxes rather than badger (the location is a bit too public for the latter).

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.
