Former tramway footpath
This short length of path is on the route of the 1802 Ashby Railway, a.k.a. Ticknall Tramway. When its replacement, the Ashby and Breedon railway, was built over parts of the route, many old sections were left disused. However, this section, although no longer part of the through-route, was retained as a siding.

Holywell Mill, Ashby, following the fire
A view of the ruined Holywell Mill, following the devastating fire several nights before. The building is now a fire-damaged shell, and the two southern gables have now collapsed, due to the loss of support from the roof. The remains will be demolished quickly.
