Communications tower
The tower appears to be the last remaining part of the former Padstow School, presumably its water supply, and has survived due to its use as a communications mast.

Bus on Parkview Road – 1982
Sunshine following a substantial snowfall.
The bus is City of Nottingham Transport 666, a Leyland Atlantean with Northern Counties bodywork, new in 1978. The body was designed as a new version of the standard Nottingham style https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7545914 with several new features, but remained a one-off.
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
