Climbing through the snow ? 1978
Snowfall in the hillier parts of the Nottingham conurbation generally results in some bus services being suspended until some clearance has taken place. Shelford Road, with a gradient of around 1 in 10 is one of these; here sufficient salt has got onto the carriageway to allow service to resume.
The bus is a Daimler Fleetline with bodywork by Northern Counties to Nottingham City Transport's own design, new in 1976.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

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.

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.
