A view of the footpath and cycle track that passes beneath a bridge that once carried Great Central Railway (GCR) trains overhead. Presumably this path and cycle track provide easy access between Wilford Village and The Nottingham Emmanuel School (seen in the distance). This 50ft (15m) high embankment forms part of the boundary between Rushcliffe and Nottingham. The railway opened in 1899 and ran from Sheffield to London via Annesley, Nottingham (Victoria), Loughborough Central, Leicester Central, Lutterworth, Rugby and Woodford Halse. Most of the route was closed between 1966-69 as part of the Beeching rationalisation plan.
