West from Woodyard Lane railway bridge
The line from Radford Junction to Trowell, on the Erewash Valley Line, was built as a short cut for trains to and from the north, avoiding the bottleneck at Toton; it also served Wollaton Colliery, beyond the trees, whose site has long been cleared. Fifty or more years ago this was an exciting place for trainspotters as expresses passed at some speed and were usually pulled by Jubilee Class engines with big brass nameplates, such as Nottingham's "Travancore" or "Hong Kong".

The large block in the foreground is one of the heelstones for the upper pair of gates of the lock; its fellow for the lower gate can be seen in the vegetation beyond. The curved cut-out is where the heelpost of the lock gate would have turned.

Woodyard Lane - the Wollaton End
This bridleway links Wollaton and the Beechdale Estate. Fifty years or more ago, this was a good place for eleven-year-olds: you could collect engine numbers from the bridge over the Radford-Trowell line at the top of the slope ahead, or fish for newts in the canal, which the lane had once crossed just behind the camera. The Nottingham Canal north of Lenton was abandoned in 1937, but its course and the decaying locks were not cleared away in these parts until the 1980s. Torvill Close - named for Nottingham's Olympic ice-skating champion - parallels its course. Alan Murray-Rust's photos, including Image] and Image], show what little remains of the canal in Wollaton.
