Wood Lane bridge
This carried the former Great Northern Railway Derbyshire Extension, running from Colwick via the north of Nottingham and Ilkeston to reach Derby by a very roundabout route. The residual passenger service disappeared in the wake of Beeching, but the line remained to serve Gedling Colliery until around 1990. It was later used for a limited amount of colliery waste removal, and the track remains in situ. The formation has been tentatively earmarked for extensions to the Nottingham tram system, as substantial housing development is planned for the former colliery site.

Wood Lane railway bridge
Part of the Great Northern Railway's long way round from Nottingham to Derby, its main purpose was to bring coal from the Notts and Derbys coalfield to its marshalling yard at Colwick. Mooted as a possible extension to the Nottingham tram network.

Coronation Walk
The name indicates that this small estate was developed in the early 1950s. This end of the estate, probably built to house elderly people, was a later addition.
