Telephone kiosk and fingerpost
As with many such kiosks, it has been taken over by the parish council, in this instance as an information centre. The fingerpost is a traditional Nottinghamshire County Council style.

Bassingfield Lane, Gamston, Nottingham 2
The yellow sign ahead is at the gated entrance to the "Bassingfield Waste Transfer Station". This is currently no more than a fenced-in tarmac-covered area the size of two tennis courts that may occasionally be used for skips? A paved footpath and cycle route to the left of the yellow sign carries users over the busy A52 Nottingham/Grantham Road (the Gamston Lings Bar dual carriageway). An identity plaque on the right announces the commencement and termination of the village of Bassingfield. If Bassingfield Lane is followed - to the left - it joins Tollerton Road within a matter of minutes.

Bassingfield Lane, Gamston, Nottingham 2
The cycle route ahead links Bassingfield Lane and Gamston. Pedestrian or cyclist-controlled traffic lights in the distance allows users to cross the Gamston Lings Bar Road (i.e. the A52) more safely than might otherwise be the case. The yellow sign on the right is at the gated entrance to the "Bassingfield Waste Transfer Station". This is currently no more than a fenced-in tarmac-covered area the size of two tennis courts that may occasionally be used for skips?
