Netherfield: Victoria Road and the former railway institute
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 22 Aug 2013
A view towards where the Great Northern Railway Derbyshire Extension (The Back Line) crossed - the white building on the right-hand side of the road was once the crossing-keeper's house. The red-brick building on the right was built as the railwaymen's institute. The huge Colwick engine shed and marshalling yards stretched north and east to the right (see Ben Brooksbank's Image] for a flavour of what was here). The site behind the grey security fence on the right was once occupied by Traffic Terrace, one of two rows of houses built by the railway company either side of the engine shed frontage.
