Once a main line to London
Fast trains from Nottingham (Midland) to St Pancras once took the Melton Direct Line, which crossed the Trent on what is now Lady Bay Road bridge and passed through the middle of Bridgford on its way to Melton, then Oakham and Kettering. The embankment slopes down to where the long-gone bridge crossed Bridgford Road. The newish red brick building in the centre is one of many built on the site of the levelled embankment from here to Melton Road. Other pictures nearby, including

West Bridgford: The Stratford Haven
There were very few licensed premises in the centre of strait-laced Bridgford when I was young. The Stratford Haven opened as a pub in 1999.
