The blue-brick wall was once the parapet of a bridge which carried Kersall Drive over a number of tracks immediately south of Bulwell Common South Junction. The Great Central Railway main line from Marylebone to Sheffield, via Leicester Central and Nottingham Victoria 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). Since closure the railway land has been redeveloped as housing. See Image] and Image] for other angles.
