Looking north from Sneinton Boulevard along the filled-in cutting. The Nottingham Suburban Railway (1889-1951) lost its passenger service as long ago as 1916 - the result of competition from the city's electric trams - but continued to serve the brickworks whose owners had promoted the line. The NSR's Bridge No 5 carried Sneinton Boulevard high over the railway. Only parts of its parapet remain - see Image] for a view taken a little to the left of here.
