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".

Nottingham Canal remains
Until the 1980s there was a considerable stretch of the old Nottingham Canal extant in this area. Most was built over, but this section containing the remains of two locks and two intermediate pounds was retained as open space. The locks were a substantial flight with closely spaced locks separated by generally elliptical pounds to help maintain water levels. The entrance to a lock can be seen to the right of the light tree, and to the left of it is the overflow weir with its curved cill.
