Chesterfield Avenue
Part of the large post-war development off Arnold Lane which was essentially a pit village for the neighbouring Gedling Colliery, although it abutted existing residential areas.

Bus termini, Wollaton Avenue, Gedling
Wollaton Avenue is the terminus of two Nottingham City Transport bus routes from the city centre. On the left, a 45 (via Mapperley and Woodborough Road) lays over in the turning circle, while a 44 (via Netherfield and Colwick) waits outside the shops. From NCT's major network revision in September 2001, these routes were combined as a circular service, but they were split again in September 2010 in an attempt to improve reliability. What is now the 44 was originally a Trent route, but became a joint service with NCT around 1980; Trent pulled out some years ago, but I am not sure when (though I guess probably by deregulation in 1986).

Gedling: Wollaton Avenue
A Nottingham City Transport No 45 bus has just left the Wollaton Avenue turning circle on its way back to the city centre via Westdale Lane, Mapperley Top and Woodborough Road. The picture gives an idea of how hilly the eastern side of Nottingham is.

Wollaton Avenue bus turning circle, Gedling
A tight turning circle, hemmed in between houses and shops and with a drop of several feet from its north side, which has had to cope with the growth of buses over the years of its life. Here, one of Nottingham City Transport's large fleet of Scania/East Lancs (later Optare) OmniDekkas, almost 12m long, has just fitted around the turning circle and waits to return to the city centre on route 45. In the distance, the slag heaps of Gedling Colliery (closed in 1991) can be seen.

This Phoenix won't rise again
A phoenix may arise from ashes, but not from a demolition site. Despite being in the middle of housing development, there is now no other public house within a mile or more of this location.
