An access gate into the Southwell Community Orchard and also onto a footpath that forms part of several trails, including the Easthorpe trail, the Bramley Apple trail and the Southwell trail. The gate lies between this private house and Greet Bridge (that carries the road over the River Greet) alongside Upton Road (the A612 Southwell-Upton road); the centre of Southwell being to the left. Apparently this property was a level crossing gate-keeper’s cottage. A short branch line was opened from Rolleston Junction to Southwell in 1847. This was also connected by the Midland Railway Company to a line from Mansfield. However, the stretch between Southwell and Mansfield was closed to passengers in 1929 leaving a short branch from Rolleston until closure in 1959. See also SK7154 : Gate Cottage.
