The south-east portal of Newbold tunnel
The south-east portal of Newbold tunnel. It was built originally for the Coleorton Railway, a line which used horse haulage, opened in 1833 and closed in 1872. The tunnel was refurbished in 1925 for use by the branch to New Lount colliery, which in turn closed in 1968, when the line was abandoned once more.

Twice-abandoned railway at Newbold
This section of railway was originally built as part of the Coleorton Railway, opened in 1833 and closed in 1860. It was reopened in 1924 to connect the newly-sunk New Lount colliery with the LMSR line from Ashby-de-la-Zouch to Derby. When the colliery closed in 1968 the line was closed and lifted for the second time.

Derelict weighbridge on approach to Newbold tunnel
The remains of two weighbridges in the cutting approaching Newbold tunnel. The line, which served New Lount colliery, closed when the mine closed in 1968. These walls are the remains of the two weighbridges that weighed the wagons individually as they passed over the bridge. The loaded waggons pulled by the train passed by the weighbridges and into the tunnel before reversing back over them.
