The blue brick and lattice parapet are typical of overbridges on the Great Central, the last main line to be built (1899) and the first to be closed (1966). This section, from Nottingham to Rugby, remained open until 1969. In due course the southern extension of the NET tramway to Clifton will run parallel to the embankment on this side.
