Pasture Lane, Ruddington
With the final section of housing, on Tongue Way, Pasture Lane has been improved with a completely new carriageway. To the right is the former narrow roadway, now purely for pedestrians. Compare with this view from 2010 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1745373 .

Footbridge and footpaths, Ruddington
The footbridge carries a public footpath over a section of the Great Central Railway's London Extension that is still used, by the Great Central Railway (Nottingham) (a preservation group). Alternatively, one can take a different path, which parallels the railway for some distance south from here (right).
