Radcliffe Road: where the railway once crossed

From 1879 until it closed in 1968 the railway from Nottingham Midland to Melton Mowbray (used by St Pancras expresses) crossed Radcliffe Road here, on a plate girder bridge. The Bathstore stands where the embankment was. Cars leaving Bridgford will either carry on along Radcliffe Road towards the Vale of Belvoir and Grantham or turn left towards the city and cross Lady Bay Bridge, the former railway bridge over the Trent.
