This railway line opened in 1874 and finally closed in 1963, until then running from Monument Road to Harborne. The cycle trail/walkway now occupying this former route is 2 1/2 miles in length from Summerfield Park to Park Hill Road, first opened in 1981 and was resurfaced in 2009. There have been reports of some uncanny experiences from people on the route at dusk or during the hours of darkness. Time taken 1.00 pm BST (British Summer Time).
