Nottingham Canal: where trains once crossed
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 21 May 2011
Until the 1960s, trains from London Road High Level crossed the canal on a skew bridge just beyond the warehouse on the right, before crossing Narrow Marsh on brick arches on their way to Weekday Cross Junction (now the site of the Nottingham Contemporary gallery) and Nottingham Victoria. Everything railway-related has disappeared here, but a small stretch of the arches survives just north-west of here between Maltmill Lane and Popham Street - see Image Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows this area in January 2008, when the flats straight ahead were being built.
