Bridge/Tunnel under the Midland Mainline

This small access bridge/tunnel is well used by traffic but you often see large lorries swearing at Sat Navs. As you can see to the left this is Knightons Field road East, on the other side its Knightons Field road West. The road joins Saffron lane to Welford road. The housing is mostly late 19thC workers terraces accociated with the Co-op factory. The Manchester pub to my left has been converted to yet more student flats but at £105 a week is well over double what I pay! The junction for the Coalville branch starts here, tube trains from the Old Dalby test site/Derby works can often be heard due to the four class 20's hauling them along.
