Great Central Railway at Rushcliffe, looking south
Built as England's last major main line, the Great Central Railway is largely faded glory. This stretch from Rushcliffe to Loughborough is still open for freight traffic to the gypsum works, and also sees occasional passenger operation from the transport Heritage Centre at Ruddington.

Rushcliffe Grove
The building on the right is, I believe, one of the workers' cottages designed by James Miller http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=200001 in 1919. I would welcome confirmation of this.

Bus stops at the gypsum works, East Leake
The view here is along the old alignment of Gotham Road, before the construction of the Great Central Railway's London Extension, which it was diverted to cross at right angles (extreme left). This part of the old road was retained to provide access to the gypsum works and a bus turning circle. The junction has been laid out in such a way that buses can enter and leave easily at either end, which I expect would once have been useful for extra buses at shift change times. Nowadays, it is merely an eccentric two way lay by used by Nottingham City Transport buses on route 1 (the former South Notts main line service) towards Nottingham (left) or Loughborough (right).
