Bus at Winchester Court
This picture complements the modern version Image
The location is not identical, because when the service first started in 1986 it used the garage road to the south of Winchester Court, as this was the only adequate route. The concept of a regular bus service being routed through a garage yard like this probably would not occur to most people!
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Blocks of Flats, Sherwood Station
Although the photograph was taken from SK5743 (just) it seems more appropriate to allocate this to SK5843 as that is the square the two blocks of flats, built on the site of the former Sherwood railway station, are in. The view is east towards Mapperlry Plains on the skyline.

Is this really a bus stop?
The idea of having a bus stop in a set of lock-up garages might be thought rather bizarre, but there is a good reason.
When the two tower blocks - Winchester and Woodthorpe Courts - were refurbished for elderly persons, there was a campaign for a bus service right to the blocks due to the steep access road into the site off Sherwood Vale. The road layout to the blocks was designed without expectation of a bus service, and forms a cul-de-sac. The normal roads do not provide any space for a bus to turn round, so the only recourse was to loop the route through the garage yard. When first started, the road surface was nowhere near as well constructed as it is today.
