This blue brick abutment and wing wall once supported the bowstring girder bridge and embankment which carried Nottingham-bound trains on the Nottingham Suburban Railway across the Great Northern Railway Grantham line. The NSR line swung west on a 1 in 48 downward gradient and crossed the Midland line at Trent Lane before joining the GNR at Trent Lane Junction. This southern end of the NSR (1889-1951) was abandoned after wartime bomb damage to the embankment between Trent Lane and Colwick Road. Image] shows the GNR line, looking eastwards towards here.
