Through Leicester several parts of the old Great Central railway (GCR) have been turned into cycle paths. This bridge took the line over the canal. The houses are built on the site of the goods yard, the railway bridge can be seen to the right. The railway closed in 1969, see external link for an interesting view. http://www.gcrleicester.info/html/goods_yard___engine_shed.html http://www.gcrleicester.info/html/around_leicester.html
