At this point Engine Lane passes out of the Moorgreen Industrial Park and into a residential area of Eastwood, which no doubt explains the warning about children playing. A height barrier behind the photographer prevents lorries using this route. At one time a mineral railway passed across the road here, giving access to Moorgreen Colliery; the modern house with the 'for sale' board appears to have been built across its former route.
