Colwick Yard Complex
View WNW from the footbridge over the line to the adjoining ex-LNW locomotive shed, to the western part of the vast ex-LNER Colwick Yards and towards Gedling etc. on the Nottingham Avoiding Line. The signalbox is Locomotive Junction, the great ex-GNR Locomotive Depot, with an allocation of over 200 engines is off to the left. It was a very difficult complex to access from public roads. My car is in the foreground. Fifty years ago, this was a very major railway centre, dealing with an immense freight traffic, especially coal, but all has long since gone in the modern age.

50 years ago, when this area was part of Colwick marshalling yards, this notice would have made sense. Now, it's just a question of reading the notice correctly!

Colwick Loop Road, Netherfield
At this point, the new Loop Road continues straight on, while the old Loop Road bears left towards Gedling. The newer road was built to bypass the very narrow part of Burton Road that is constricted by a railway bridge crossing it just east of Shearing Hill.

Car auction yard
In years past this site was covered by the Colwick railway yards, where the old Great Northern Railway concentrated its freight traffic - principally coal - for onward travel towards London.
