Open space
This area was safeguarded when the area was redeveloped in the late 1960s for the extension of Arno Vale Road up to Mapperley Plains to replace the relatively narrow Gedling Road. With the proposals to develop the former Gedling Colliery site, this could be resurrected.

Green way through the housing
The open space was earmarked for the extension of Arno Vale Road which would line up with the new Gedling Access Road. A final decision has been made to leave it as open space. The view also shows the brand new Arnold Hill Academy building; compare with this 2013 view from more or less the same viewpoint https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3463819 .

Arnold NG5, Notts.
From this footpath off Mapperley Plains (the B684) various sports fields and sports facilities - probably shared between Arnold Hill Academy on the left and its neighbour, the Christ The King Academy on the right - can be seen. Arnold Hill Academy (formerly a grammar school and then a comprehensive School) is one of the largest comprehensive schools in Nottinghamshire with a roll of 1,800 pupils and 100 teachers. The avenue running across the middle of the picture is Wembley Road, NG5

Site of Arno Vale bus turning circle (2)
The house with the pair of dormer windows (right) was built on the site of the turning circle provided for Nottingham City Transport bus route 10, which terminated here. It was rendered redundant when the Arnold area services were reorganised around 1980, with the Arno Vale service being extended to Plains Estate and Arnold (much as today's routes 56 and 57 serve this area now). After being fenced off but still visible for many years, the site was developed for a small quantity of housing a few years ago.
