These large stone-and-brick abutments and piers once supported the plate girders of the bridge which carried the Great Northern Nottingham-Grantham line over the Midland Railway Lincoln line. The Great Northern line was abandoned after the closure of Nottingham Victoria Station in 1966 and all eastbound trains now use the Midland route as far as Netherfield, where the Grantham and Lincoln lines part. The GNR trackbed behind the camera is now a footpath.
