John O'Gaunt: footpath, barn and viaduct

The footpath leads to Owston. The railway once led north to Melton, Bottesford and Nottingham and south to Market Harborough and Northampton.

The GN&LNWJt Line from Melton to Market Harborough gave the London & North Western Railway access to Nottingham and the Great Northern another route south for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire coal. The line opened in 1879, lost its sparse Northampton-Nottingham passenger service in the early 1950s and closed completely in 1964. Latterly the line carried mainly coal and iron ore, and summer holiday specials to Skegness and Mablethorpe from Leicester Belgrave Road. For more about it, see Link
