Train approaching Bobbers Mill Bridge
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 21 Jun 2011
A train from Worksop and Mansfield to Nottingham passes under the footbridge at Bobbers Mill, where there was once also a level crossing on the old Alfreton Road, superseded when Bobbers Mill Bridge, from which the photograph was taken, was built in the 1930s. Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows the ruinous former crossing-keeper's house (to the right of the footbridge) with more roof, and was taken on a day when one of the Basford gasholders was full. Gerard's Soap Works chimney is in the centre of the picture; the factory was flattened in April 2011. The former Shipstone's Brewery is in the distance on the right.
