The line from Radford Junction (ahead) to Trowell, on the Erewash Valley Line, was built as a short cut for trains to and from the north, avoiding the bottleneck at Toton; it also served Wollaton Colliery. This is the view back towards the city, with some of the rooftops of Beechdale Estate on the left and Radford and its high-rise flats on the skyline. Years ago that skyline was dominated by Players cigarette factory, long demolished. The bridge over the railway just visible in the distance carries Western Boulevard.
