This is where the track approached a railway yard. The posts for lighting and telegraph wires are still standing, but the track has been taken up and the area is slowly returning to nature. The modern lights in the background have been installed along the Great Central Way, a footpath and cycle route which use the former Great Central Railway main line at this location.
