The site of Bottesford South Junction
This was at one time a three-way junction on the former Great Northern and London and North Western Railways' joint line between Market Harborough and Newark. Straight ahead was the direct line to Newark (actually owned entirely by the Great Northern Railway).
The curves to left and right gave access towards Nottingham and Grantham respectively. The principal traffics were ironstone from the local Leicestershire Wolds and coal from Nottinghamshire towards London, although most of the latter used the later connecting line from Bingham to Stathern. As a result the original left hand curve was removed, but was reinstated for oil traffic to the Redmile oil depot created to serve local airfields during the Second World War. The surfaced track is lineside access for railway staff.
