South from New Bridge
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 27 Aug 2010
A modern railway notice calls this bridge over the Nottingham-Mansfield-Worksop line Folly Lane Bridge, but to me it will always be New Bridge. Modern industrial units cover the former Radford goods yard and the colliery sidings on the left, and beyond them are student flats; the red building in the distance left of centre is International House on the Nottingham University Jubilee Campus; the distinctive Player's Bonded Warehouse is on the skyline on the right. Radford Junction, where the line to Trowell Junction and the Erewash Valley Line diverges to the right, is hidden by trees, as is Robert Shaw Playing Field. To take the picture I stood on the part of the bridge under which the colliery sidings, long gone, once passed.
