Great Central Way
On the route of the dismantled (closed 1969) Great Central railway. One of the greatest closure mistakes. The housing is sited on the old goods yard, until a couple of years ago I would have passed under a bridge but this was demolished.
The original carriage and wagon works (behind me) is in industrial use.

Upperton Road, Leicester
Here, the Great Central Way crosses Upperton Road at a pelican crossing. The Great Central Way follows the course of a former railway.
Upperton Road used to cross the railway on a viaduct here. The viaduct was demolished in 2007, as it was in poor condition, and the road was lowered to ground level. This may explain why the pavement on the opposite side of the road rises, as if to cross a bridge, then falls. There is more information about the Upperton Road Viaduct, and photos taken before and during demolition, at the GCRLeicester website http://www.gcrleicester.info/html/leicester_demolition_2.html
