Footpath and stile
The stile marks the point at which the footpath leaves its alignment along the old railway embankment (right). It used to head across fields at this point, but these have now succumbed to housing development Image where the right of way has become a road for a short distance.

Disused Farm Building
Located close to the River Eye beside an area of redevelopment. This building has been partially demolished since the current aerial photos were taken and will no doubt have disappeared before the next batch. I think it was once a hen house, or similar.

Beside the Embankment
A short terrace of houses served only by a path sit on a triangle of land between the old Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway embankment and Asfordby Road. The terrace was built in 1878.

Where Once Thundered Trains
Looking across the River Eye towards the embankment that carried the Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway to Melton Mowbray North station. The original railway bridge has gone, though the cast iron support pillars and a badly decayed wooden cutwater remain. A footbridge, that doesn't seem particularly robust, has been put in place for the permissive path that follows the line of the railway. Geographers David Lally and Stephen MacKay can be seen 'eyeing' up the river.
