The photograph on this page of Parallel footpaths by Alan Murray-Rust as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The left hand path is the long-established footpath over to Swingate. As part of the development of the Nottingham Business Park, a second footpath has been established running parallel to it. There is a 2-wire fence between the two paths, already substantially decayed. The new path leads to a light-controlled pedestrian crossing, so presumably the intention was to supersede the older path, although as can be seen this is still very well used.
