Armstrong Drive
The estate was developed from the southern end and for some time was not linked through towards Bulwell. At one point in the development, Armstrong Drive was stoppered at its northern end to prevent rat-running, and has remained so.

Bus in Hempshill Vale turning circle
A 69 to Nottingham city centre departs the bus turning circle in Hempshill Vale, Bulwell. Since 2004, buses serving this area have provided a circular service, meaning that nothing terminates here any more. However, buses that traverse the route in an anticlockwise direction use the turning circle essentially as a large bus stop lay by.
