Marmion Road (north end)
The road has been blocked to prevent its use as a rat run, but the presence of different styles of post show that in practice the barrier has been breached from time to time.

Former footbridge location
The dark engineering brick wall formerly marked the edge of the area of Thorneywood Station. This lay in a cutting well below the road and was crossed by a lattice metal footbridge which lasted for years after the station and railway closed. The cutting was for a long time a Post Office Telephones maintenance depot, but has since been filled in converted for housing use.

Bus in the Brickyard Estate, Thorneywood – 1986
In the run-up to the deregulation of bus services in October 1986, City of Nottingham Transport introduced a series of ‘Accessline’ services using small buses to reach areas that could not be served by full size buses. The idea was that these areas would not be attractive to possible competitors after deregulation and that passengers would be attracted to use these localised services rather than walk to main roads. These services were never economically viable and in most cases, including this route, services were withdrawn soon after deregulation and have not been replaced since.

The view down Carlton Road
Carlton Road is a fairly long continuous drag up from the City Centre. The location of Nottingham at the edge of the Trent Valley, which stretches into the distance, can be well seen.
