And no sign of the houses of parliament anywhere! This view is taken from the permissive path on the old Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway Line embankment that served Melton Mowbray North station. The foreground houses are on a triangular plot of land beside Asfordby Road. The houses beyond are on Brightside Avenue, Dorothy Avenue and Rudbeck Avenue. Hawthorn and Elder frame the photo.
