Semi-redundant bus shelter
After Nottingham City Transport converted its local main service to run unidirectionally via Greenwood Road and Douglas Avenue, the only service to use this stop is a shopping service which provides a single journey on 2 days of the week only.

Bakersfield: view from Oakdale Road
The gaps between the houses on Oakdale Road give glimpses over Colwick Country Park and the wide Trent Valley to the South Nottinghamshire wolds in the distance. In May there is a lot of yellow oilseed rape to be seen.

Sharp bend in Greenwood Road, Bakersfield
Travelling west, as Greenwood Road crosses into Nottingham it dips and then bends sharply near the eastern extremity of Colwick Woods. From this distance the angle of the bend looks very similar to the angle on the warning sign. The main bus service here, Nottingham City Transport route 43, serves this part of Bakersfield with a unidirectional loop, meaning that the bus shelter just before the bend is now virtually disused (according to the timetable on the bus stop, it gets two buses a week).

Nos. 192, 190 and 188 Oakdale Road
Ordnance Survey documents indicate that a benchmark levelled at 77.730m above Newlyn Datum was verified in 1962 on a gatepost in the wall fronting the left hand house. The wall appears to have been replaced and the 'gateway' widened in recent times

No buses today
The steep gradient of Douglas Avenue https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6709001 means that almost any fall of snow renders it impassable. In years past, buses would have run to this point and reversed in Mays Avenue to return to the city centre.
