The Colsterworth Quarries railway crossed Old Post Lane here until quarrying ceased in 1973. The crossing gates were apparently of mainline standard; the hedge marks their position. Newton's birthplace, Woolsthorpe Manor, is in the background. See other photos nearby for more on the quarries and railways in the area.
