A view from the bridge which carries Chaworth Road over Netherfield Station, with Colwick Woods on the skyline. This is the Great Northern Line from Grantham, which originally ran parallel to and to the south of the Midland line from Newark and Lincoln, which it now joins, as far as Trent Lane. The signal box on the left (a 1960 replacement for the original) is surplus to requirements following the resignalling of Nottingham Midland Station and its approaches. The red-brick house to the right was once the Netherfield & Colwick Stationmaster's House.
