The houses on the other side of this blue-brick wall are built on a filled-in cutting of what was once the Great Central Railway main line from Marylebone to Sheffield, via Leicester Central and Nottingham Victoria. This was the last main line to be built (1898) and the first to close (1966 as a through route and 1968 here to goods traffic). See Image] and Image] for other angles.
