Camelot Avenue, New Basford

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Camelot Avenue, New Basford
It is hard to believe there was once a main line railway here. Camelot Avenue is built on the site of the passenger and goods stations at New Basford. The goods sidings were to the left and the island-platform passenger station straight ahead. The Great Central Railway main line from London Marylebone to Sheffield via Leicester and Nottingham was the last trunk route to be completed (1899) and the first to close (1967). North of Nottingham and in the city much of its route has disappeared - embankments flattened, cuttings filled, viaducts demolished - and it is hard to follow. After passing through the 665-yard Sherwood Rise Tunnel northbound trains entered a deep cutting in the sandstone (behind the camera). The cutting has now been filled in - see SK5642 : The approach to Sherwood Rise Tunnel.
