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.

Footpath along the railway
This path leads out of the corner of Lambley Lane Recreation ground towards Gedling village, but there is no evidence of right of way across the recreation ground itself.

Despite its name, this is a straight cul de sac.

View from Phoenix Avenue
Looking across the valley of the Ouse Beck to Gedling Wood. The hill doesn't appear to have a name of its own.
