After the closure of Nottingham Victoria Station in 1966 the parts of the Great Northern Railway Grantham line through Sneinton to Netherfield were abandoned. Since then, Grantham trains have used the Midland route as far as Netherfield, where the Lincoln and Grantham lines part. The GNR trackbed is now a footpath from through Sneinton from Manvers Street to Daleside Road East. This is a view towards Nottingham, with the incinerator chimney just visible in the distance above the path.
