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.

Newcombe Drive, Plains Estate
Newcombe Drive is named after John Newcombe, an Australian tennis player who won twelve Grand Slam men's doubles titles in the 1960s and 1970s. 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.

Coppice Road at Howbeck Road
Coppice Road was originally Spout Lane, before housing was developed in the area. Mapping from just before WW2 shows that there was a small development just around this cross-roads, clearly intended as the basis of later development, but delayed by the war. The style of housing is typical of local council estates.
