Footpath on the former Leen Valley Railway
The Great Northern Railway's Leen Valley line, built in 1881 to serve collieries in the Leen valley (and extended through Sutton in Ashfield to Langwith in 1898), ran directly ahead and behind the camera until closure in 1968. The Leen Valley line lost its regular passenger service as early as 1929.

Wind Turbine at Tesco, Nottingham
This wind turbine stands in the car park of the Tesco store at Top Valley, Nottingham. Vertical axis wind turbines such as this one are better suited to urban environments where there may be no predominant wind direction, perhaps due to the built up surroundings. The more familiar three-blade horizontal axis ones will generally be more efficient in a steady air flow. See http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=2523 and http://www.tesco.com/greenerliving/what_we_are_doing/reducing_energy_use/default.page?
Update, June 2011: This wind turbine is no longer there, although I am not sure when, or why, it was removed.
