Meadow Lane and the former level crossing

The level crossing over the Nottingham to Lincoln and Grantham railway line has been replaced by a footbridge. In the golden age of railways, six other tracks - the main passenger and goods lines into the Great Northern station at London Road - crossed Meadow Lane here. Since the railway closed, this bridge - which now carries a footpath from Sneinton Hermitage to Trent Lane - has been much reduced in size and the embankments and bridges to the north (behind the camera) removed and the land used for housing. This bridge is now the equivalent of single-track width, along the line of what was once the slow arrival line. For comparison, see Image] (September 2013).
