Newcombe Drive
Off Ramsey Drive. The area was developed after England's Football World Cup victory in 1966. Most roads are named after the members of the England squad, but these were insufficient and the eastern section of the estate was named after recent tennis champions.

His partner for all twelve was Tony Roche, after whom Image is named. The view is from the end of Davidson Close; I'm afraid I don't know after which Davidson it is named.

Bus turning circle, Newcombe Drive, Plains Estate
This turning circle, at the end of Newcombe Drive and sort of built into its junction with Darlton Drive (foreground), was largely unused for several years, the main bus service through Plains Estate continuing along Ramsey Drive and then via Coppice Road to Arnold (rather than serving Newcombe Drive). However, nine days after this photograph was taken, Nottingham City Transport introduced route 57, which serves Newcombe Drive half hourly during the day, and terminates here. Hopefully the car on the extreme left is no longer parked there.
