Light controlled pedestrian crossing - green
Hatchet's Lane crosses the East Coast Main Line; trains pass this point at speeds in excess of 100 mph. This http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3129956 gives the alternative view.
The path is part of the Trent Valley Way long distance footpath.

Permanently closed footpath
The footpath from Hatchets lane to the Trent bank is now permanently closed. At one time it provided vehicular access to various maltings and factories but with their demise it was reduced to a footpath. It was part of the Trent Valley Way but I have been unable to find which way this has been re-routed.

Light controlled pedestrian crossing - red
The alternative scenario to http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3129946 . Definitely not worth jumping the lights!
The locomotive is a class 66 diesel on heavy freight haulage and was accelerating away from a stop.
The path is part of the Trent Valley Way long distance footpath.

Remains of former maltings
In the triangle between the East Coast Main Line, Lincoln Road and the River Trent there were several maltings. Most have now gone, the result of changed practices, fire and demolition. This patch of dereliction is not untypical of the area.
