The quiet residential street, screened off from the main Derby Road.

Just across the road from the Queens Medical centre, the trees screen these fairly up market houses.

This gives access from the hospital to the bus stop for buses towards the city Centre. It is a relatively recent introduction; for many years the access was via a (still open) subway, but too many people still crossed this busy road at ground level. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3844240 on the brick pier at the left of the view.

Although the name suggests that this was the original drive to Wollaton Hall, and it maintains the alignment with Lime Tree Avenue in Wollaton Park, this is not the case. The original drive followed a more curving route to the north, and the current road was created when housing was developed in the area during the Inter-war period. The avenue trees are a mixture of ordinary and copper beeches. Clearly many were pollarded at some stage before being allowed to re-grow, resulting in long upward-reaching branches.

On the western fringe of Lenton, Derby Road passes the north side of the Queens Medical Centre (just out of frame to the right). The long bus stop layby is provided due to the frequency of bus services using this stop and the fact that it is the main stop for the hospital. The wall alongside the pavement on the left protects a pedestrian subway which links the hospital campus with the north side of the road; this seems little used now, mainly because a pelican crossing has been installed just west of the bus stop.
