Photo 6x4 Sneinton: Meadow Lane railway bridge Nottingham\/SK5641 In the c2010

Photograph Notes: In the golden age of railways, six tracks - the main passenger and goods lines into the Great Northern station at London Road - crossed Meadow Lane here. Since the railway closed, the bridge - which now carries a footpath from Sneinton Hermitage to Trent Lane - has been much reduced in size and the embankments to the north (behind and beside the camera) removed and the land used for housing. The bridge is now the equivalent of single-track width, along the line of what was once the slow arrival line. The remains of the original bridge's abutments are on the left. On the other side of the bridge an oil train is passing Sneinton Junction on the still-open Midland line, now used for all services east of Nottingham. Just to the north of here Meadow Lane was crossed by two more bridges, carrying the GNR to Nottingham Victoria via Weekday Cross and London & North Western goods trains to its large Manvers Street goods station. The railway is remembered in the names of the two new streets here, Gresley and Ivatt Drives, named after two of the Great Northern's most famous locomotive engineers (Sir Nigel Gresley, of course, designed the steam speed record holder, "Mallard"). Gresley Drive and Ardmore and Marham Closes, to the right of here, are built on what was the main GNR coal yard.
