A view south east on the old overgrown Great Central Railway trackbed just north of Barton Hill Farm Road which was carried over the railway by this three arch bridge. The line was closed in 1966 and the area has reverted to woodland. They are building the new HS2 line close to here, just to the left of this picture, which means that this woodland will be left undisturbed.
