The bridge crossed the former Great Northern Railway's Derbyshire Extensions line, known as the 'Back Line'. There is a benchmark https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7107260 on the near parapet abutment.

Installed as part of the Hucknall Road Walkway which runs in the background. It has various wildlife and associated motifs.

The trees to the right are growing on the remains of the Great Central Railway embankment. Beyond them, the embankment - 40ft high where the railway crossed Valley Road on its way south to Nottingham Victoria - has been levelled and the houses of Tunstall Drive built. Fenton Road follows the course of Bagthorpe East Curve, which brought trains from the Great Northern Derby Friargate line to join the GC at Bagthorpe Junction (which was just north of Valley Road bridge, way above the roofs of the present houses, and those on Harmston Rise and Heatherley Avenue, whose alignments follow the bottom of the former embankment). In railway days the downward slope straight ahead was a single railway line rising to meet the main line. To the right of the houses in the distance on the left of the picture, the railway passed through the cutting in the sandstone ridge shown in my Image

Arnold Road (B6004) is joined beyond the supermarket by Heathfield Road (named after of its association with Bagthorpe Isolation Hospital that later became Heathfield Hospital perhaps). The supermarket opened in 2011 in what was previously "The Heathfield" pub. Traffic travelling down this road ultimately reaches the David Lane tram stop.

On the trackbed of the former Great Northern Railway's Derbyshire Extensions line, known as the 'Back Line'. This small area has been allowed to develop with the typical vegetation – gorse and broom, etc. - of the heathland that would originally have been typical of the area. Part of the Hucknall Road Walkway. Beyond is modern housing built on the old trackbed towards Daybrook.

The site of the junction of the former Nottingham to Derby, and Leen Valley lines of the old GNR. the view is from the bridge where Arnold Road crosses the latter, which roughly followed the curve of the footpath. The main line ran from the flats on the left across to pass under Hucknall Road to the right of the view. The area is being regenerated as natural heathland.
