North of Cinderhill Tram Stop
Great Northern Railway Bridge No 3 once carried Cinderhill Road over the branch lines to Cinderhill (Babbington) Colliery. The Phoenix Park branch of the tramway uses the abandoned trackbed of the Midland Railway branch from Highbury Vale.

The wet road surface makes for a more interesting picture than otherwise.

Cinderhill Tram Stop - 2
The Highbury Vale to Phoenix Park branch of the Nottingham tram system is built on the formation of the Midland Railway Babbington (Cinderhill) Colliery railway, which ran from a junction with the Midland's Nottingham to Mansfield and Worksop line where the Highbury Vale tram stop now is. The Midland line ran parallel to (and in the shadow of) the Great Northern Derbyshire Extension line to Derby, which ran on tall embankments and viaducts - of which no traces remain - between Cinderhill and Basford North. This view shows Great Northern Bridge No 3, which carried the Cinderhill to Bulwell road over the lines leading to the colliery sidings. Behind the camera and to the right, where there are now steps and a zig-zag pedestrian ramp, the Great Northern Babbington Colliery line (from its own Babbington Junction) came in to join the Midland here. The GNR cutting has been filled in, but the parapets of GNR Bridge No 2, on Bagnall Road, survive. The Midland Railway's Cinderhill Junction signal box (a standard timber type with a hipped roof) stood roughly where I stood to take this photograph.

A Clifton-bound tram approaching Cinderhill
The Highbury Vale to Phoenix Park branch of the Nottingham tram system is built on the formation of the Midland Railway Babbington (Cinderhill) Colliery Branch, which ran from a junction with the Midland's Nottingham to Mansfield and Worksop line where the Highbury Vale tram stop now is. The Midland line ran parallel to (and in the shadow of) the Great Northern Derbyshire Extension line to Derby, which ran on tall embankments and viaducts - now completely gone - between Cinderhill and Basford North. This is Great Northern Bridge No 3 carrying Cinderhill Road. Behind and to the right of the camera, where there are now steps and a zig-zag pedestrian ramp, there was once a junction where the GNR Babbington Colliery branch joined the Midland. The GNR cutting has been filled in, but the parapets of its Bridge No 2, on Bagnall Road, survive.
