Car park entrance, Bestwood Country Park

This car park entrance provides access from Park Road, on the south eastern corner of Bestwood village, to a car park serving Bestwood Country Park. The entrance to Bestwood colliery was here: the colliery winding house, headgear and some other buildings have been preserved (see other pictures in this square), while some of the slagheaps have been landscaped and form part of the country park. The railway wheelsets behind the fence (centre) appear to be from an outside framed 350hp diesel shunter (BR class 08 or one of its LMS designed ancestors).
