Railway trackbed, Gedling (1)
Maps generally still seem to mark this as a railway line, though here, where there was a foot crossing between Jessops Lane and a footpath, the track appears to have been lifted. This was the Great Northern Railway's "back line", which turned through 180 degrees around the edge of greater Nottingham to head eventually west into Derbyshire. After closure as a through route in the early 1960s, this section survived to provide rail access to Gedling Colliery, which closed in 1991.
