SK5844 : Old railway line

near to Arnold, Nottinghamshire, Great Britain

Old railway line
Old railway line
This was the old Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby via Ilkeston. It was a roundabout route for passengers, but resulted from the fundamental need for the carriage of coal from the Nottas and Derby coalfield. Today the railway alignment carries a footpath, seen here from the bridge carrying Thackerays Lane.
