Once a railway
This was, until the 1960s, the route built by the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston & Eastern Junction (later the Great Northern) Railway in the 1850s, leading to its London Road terminus and, after 1900, via London Road High Level, to Nottingham Victoria. Trains to and from Grantham and holiday specials carrying Nottinghamians to the East Coast used this line. The chimney of Eastcroft Incinerator is straight ahead, on the other side of the remaining railway, the Midland route to Newark and Lincoln (which has been used by Grantham trains, which branch off at Netherfield, since Victoria Station closed).

Footbridge construction at Trent Lane
The foot crossing is being replaced by a footbridge as part of the reconfiguration and resignalling of Nottingham Midland Station and its approaches. Straight ahead are the abutments of the girder bridge which once carried the Great Northern Railway line from Grantham to Nottingham (shown from other angles in
Image] and
Image]) over the Midland's Lincoln line. The spoil to the right is from the parts of the nearer abutment which have been demolished. The crossing and associated footpaths are currently closed. This is a view through the barrier shown in
