The site of Basford North Station
This view westwards from the former railway bridge on Park Lane shows the industrial units built on what was from 1878-1968 Basford North railway station, on the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby Friargate, a line built principally to carry coal from Erewash Valley pits to the marshalling yard at Colwick for onward despatch. Ben Brooksbank's Image] shows the station from the west, looking towards here, in the days of steam.

Park Lane
For a close-up of the old Home Brewery sign on the off licence on the corner of Cheltenham Street, see Image Straight ahead Park Lane once crossed the Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby Friargate. The bridge is still there, but there is little other evidence there was ever a railway here as the railway land has been redeveloped for housing and commercial purposes. See Image], Image] and Image

Apollo Table Waters and Home Ales
Old Basford is a good place for old painted signs on former Home Brewery Company off licences. This example, on the corner of Park Lane and Cheltenham Street, is the traditional version, advertising Apollo fizzy drinks and the Daybrook brew; on nearby Arnold Road the beer-off sports the 1960s version - see Image

Great Northern Railway bridge, Park Lane, Basford
The trackbed of the Great Northern line to Derby has been partly filled in to make a small playground. The curious-looking parapet was a British Railways replacement for the wrought-iron original and rather remarkably dates from 1965 - a year after passenger services ceased and only two years before the line was abandoned completely. Basford North station was to the left and the Basford East junctions, leading to where the GNR met the Great Central main line, the southbound line via the "Rathole" tunnel, were to the right. The other side of this bridge appears, under the footbridge, in Ben Brooksbank's 1963 pictures Image] and Image My father always called this "Dobby Bridge", but I've no idea why, or if anyone else did, or of the name's origin.

Basford North (former Basford & Bulwell) Station
View eastward, towards Nottingham (Victoria), Colwick etc. and Grantham. Basford & Bulwell station only became 'Basford North' on 21/9/53; it was closed on 7/9/64 to passengers, along with the service from Derby (Friargate) etc. (goods 4/9/67). Beyond the station can be seen Park Lane Bridge, beyond which was the bridge carrying the main ex-Great Central line from Sheffield (Victoria) to Nottingham and the South. Trains through this station to/from Nottingham Victoria joined the main line at Bagthorpe Junction by connections either side of this bridge. A curve to the left just beyond the end of the Up (left) platform connected at Bulwell South Junction with the main line towards Sheffield. The lines straight ahead led to Leen Valley Junction and by the Daybrook Loop ('Back Line') round the north side of Nottingham to the great Colwick Yards and the main line to Grantham; the Back Line lost its meagre passenger services after the partial collapse of Mapperley Tunnel on 4/4/60, although Goods continued until 1/6/64. The GC main line effectively ceased as a through route on 5/9/66 and Nottingham Victoria closed on 5/7/67.

East from Park Lane bridge
This view eastwards from Park Lane bridge shows how the course of the former Great Northern Railway line from Nottingham to Derby Friargate has been obliterated since it closed in 1968. Ben Brooksbank's Image] shows what the lines east of here looked like in the days of steam; the position of the engine in that picture was just beyond the houses straight ahead.

Catchems Corner
An instance where pub renaming has become more rather than less traditional. This was originally the Station Hotel, but the location was always known as Catchems Corner, for reasons which I have been unable to discover. One possibility is that it was the location of a toll gate.
