The rooftops of Edwardian West Bridgford are seen from the trackbed of the old Midland Railway Nottingham to Melton Mowbray line, now a footpath. Expresses reached St Pancras via Melton, Oakham, Corby and Kettering. Railway passengers would have had a clearer view as the embankment grasses were regularly mowed; the birches and bushes have grown since the line closed in the 1960s and London trains were re-routed via Loughborough and Leicester, leaving from the west end of Nottingham Station rather than the east.
