This foot crossing connects Nottingham Road and Bulwell Hall Estate (to the left) and Bestwood. The Robin Hood railway line from Nottingham to Mansfield and Worksop (right) and the NET tramway share the Midland Railway formation (originally double track), which dates from 1848 - the first of three railways built in the Leen Valley and the only one remaining. In the distant past a siding led off to the right from behind the camera to serve the mill shown in Image], and from 1952 the branch line to Calverton Colliery diverged to the right about a quarter of a mile to the north (ahead), just beyond where the Great Northern Leen Valley Line crossed at an angle on a girder bridge of which nothing remains.
