Welcome to the Black Track
Nuneaton and Bedworth Council has posted a long list of 'do's and don'ts' at this access point to the Black Track by the end of Selby Way. The Black Track is, in fact, a disused railway now converted to a footpath. The railway provided access to Stockingford and Ansley Hall collieries; this stretch was abandoned in November 1964 when the former closed. Presumably the Black Track name is a reference to the colour of coal - it seems likely that spilt coal dust would at one time have given the line a black appearance.

Mural on the Black Track
The Black Track was a railway built in 1876 to serve Stockingford and Ansley Hall collieries. It was abandoned in 1964 and is now a footpath. Under the bridge by Selby Way are murals celebrating the local mining industry. Sadly on this side the effect has been somewhat spoiled by some mindless graffiti.
