A car using the bridge that previously carried Cockett Lane over the Mansfield-Southwell Railway, a line that opened c.1875 and closed to passenger traffic in 1929. Individuals looking over the bridge can see the former station/station house - now a private residence - at the side of the Southwell Trail (a medium-distance trail). Station Road, a few paces to the left, in the front of this car, links Cockett Lane to New Lane (in the centre of the village). In several fields on the left-hand side of this picture, although not visible, a new 88 home housing development called St Michael's View has begun.
