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.

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).

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.

Colwick Park Inn
Roadside style public house turned pub/restaurant. The building itself sits squarely across the boundary of the City of Nottingham. The sharp cliff scarp behind marks the edge of the alluvial plain of the River Trent, where at some stage it has cut into the soft sedimentary mudstones.
