The direct line from Nottingham to St Pancras via Melton Mowbray closed in 1968. Some time later parts of the embankment which carried it through West Bridgford were levelled and the land used for housing. These new buildings contrast with Victorian and Edwardian Bridgford and show clearly on aerial photos. See Image], Image], Image], Image], Image] and others.
