Basford: the site of Northern Bridge
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 18 May 2015
The houses on the left and the industrial estate on the right are built on the site of the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby Friargate, which crossed the road here on a substantial brick arch. Basford North (originally Basford & Bulwell) Station was to the right, its platforms ending at the bridge, high above Vernon Road. The high embankment to the left was levelled and Oakleigh Street, Susan Drive, Gabrielle Close and Lauriston Drive occupy its site.
