Dist:0.4km<br/>This wind turbine stands in the car park of the Tesco store at Top Valley, Nottingham. Vertical axis wind turbines such as this one are better suited to urban environments where there may be no predominant wind direction, perhaps due to the built up surroundings. The more familiar three-blade horizontal axis ones will generally be more efficient in a steady air flow. See http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2523 and http://www.tesco.com/greenerliving/what_we_are_doing/reducing_energy_use/default.page? Update, June 2011: This wind turbine is no longer there, although I am not sure when, or why, it was removed.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Rigley Drive - seen here at the junction with Hucknall Road - takes its name from William Rigley's railway wagon works, which stood to the left of here until the 1960s, specialising in the manufacture and repair of railway wagons and, latterly, the scrapping of steam locomotives. The Great Northern Railway's Leen Valley line, built in 1881 to serve collieries in the Leen valley, ran directly ahead and behind the camera until closure in 1968. Bulwell Forest Station (also behind the camera) closed to passengers as early as 1929.
