Pedestrian crossing over the Nut Brook
This metal footbridge used to link one side of the vast Stanton Ironworks site to the other. It has collapsed in centre stream causing the water to back up behind debris caught in its structure.

Old footbridge over the Nut Brook
More industrial detritus left over from the heyday of the Stanton Ironworks. The walkway between the railings has all but collapsed but the pipe that is attached to the structure looks remarkably sound.

Lagoon near the Nutbrook Trail
A look at the current map indicates that the disused Nutbrook Canal canal ran to the left of this lake while the Nutbrook trail (and cycleway) follows the course of a disused railway line to the right.

Old railway bridge over the Nutbrook Trail
The Nutbrook Trail follows the route of the dismantled Stanton railway branch line. The track that this bridge carried over the branch line used to link one side of the old Stanton Ironworks to the other. The namesake of the trail, the Nut Brook, is culverted under the footpath at this point.
