Site of Central Avenue turning circle, Mapperley
On Plains Road opposite the top of Somersby Road. In the 1970s, half of Nottingham City Transport's Mapperley service terminated here, with the other half running to and from Gedling via Westdale Lane. By the mid 1990s, NCT's remaining buses to this part of Mapperley had been extended along Somersby Road (behind the camera) towards Arno Vale, Plains Estate, and Arnold. Some years ago, the turning circle was turned into the present small patch of grass.

Bus turn round
At least that is what used to occupy this little patch of open space. Changes to the bus network as travel patterns have changed resulted in it being abandoned as a terminus some years ago and the tarmac has been replaced with grass.

Looking up Somersby Road, Mapperley
This is a particularly steep section of road in a generally hilly area. For many years this section of Somersby Road was thought too steep for safe bus operation, so this area's bus service historically arrived via Woodthorpe (at the bottom of the road) rather than via Mapperley.
