West Bridgford: where the railway used to be
Marlborough Court - retirement housing - was built in 1988 on the alignment of the former Midland Railway direct line from Nottingham to Melton, Oakham, Corby and Kettering, on which express services to St Pancras ran from 1878-1968. There was a tall embankment here and the railway crossed Melton Road on a substantial plate girder bridge. The course of the line from here to Radcliffe Road can be seen on satellite imagery as a strip of modern housing of various kinds between the Victorian and Edwardian streets which characterise the centre of Bridgford.

Rectory Road: where the railway once ran
West Bridgford's population rose from 293 in 1881 to 7,018 twenty years later. It is essentially a Victorian and Edwardian suburb, which is why the narrow strip of new houses running parallel to Stratford Road between Bridgford Road and Melton Road shows up so clearly on aerial photos. These flats stand where there was once a railway embankment, now levelled, which carried the Nottingham-Melton-Oakham-Corby-Kettering line on which the fastest trains from Nottingham Midland to London St Pancras ran.

West Bridgford: Melton Road shops
Everything was quiet and closed on the morning of the May Day Bank Holiday - but there was more traffic than when my mother, who was born and grew up in nearby Manvers Road, and her sisters and friends played whip and top in dusty Melton Road in the years during and just after The Great War.
