The Great Northern Railway's Leen Valley line, built in 1881 to serve collieries in the Leen valley (and extended through Sutton in Ashfield to Langwith in 1898), ran directly ahead and behind the camera until closure in 1968. The Leen Valley line lost its regular passenger service as early as 1929.
