Colby Drive, Thurmaston, Leicester
This estate road, originally built in the 1940's, was obviously meant to go further, but it ends abruptly with an officious looking metal fence. Are they trying to keep the townies in or the country bumpkins out?

Thurmaston - steam special on the main line
GWR 'Hall' class Rood Ashton Hall hauling a special to Melton Mowbray for the Xmas market. Photographed from an over bridge carrying a public footpath. Apart from the four of us there were no other gricers. The view is reasonable and uphill but the driver throttled back a bit just before reaching this point and the curse of the railway photographer - drifting steam and smoke - is in evidence. This was a quick break from photographing old mills and a later trip to the Abbey Pumping Station for the beam engines in steam.

Railway bridge over Church Hill Road, Thurmaston
A very low (9'6") bridge carrying the Midland Main Line north of Leicester over Church Hill Road. Although the flood of which the sign on the left warns was no longer present, the carriageway was still looking quite wet, so presumably it was a fairly recent event.
