The substantial blue-brick walls either side of Kersall Drive were, until 1968, the parapets of a bridge which crossed the Great Central Railway Nottingham-Sheffield main line. Bulwell Common South Junction was just to the right and Bulwell Common Station a little further north; to the left the main line ran south through New Basford to Nottingham Victoria and a line diverged to the west to Basford North (formerly Basford & Bulwell) Station. This bridge was wide as it crossed a number of tracks. Since closure the railway land has been redeveloped as housing. See Image] and Image] for other angles.
