Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Footbridge over the River Wreake This footbridge has replaced a former railway bridge, the piers of which can still be seen. The line that once ran here was part of an extensive network that connected Nottingham, Newark, Leicester, Market Harborough and Peterborough, originally operated jointly by the Great Northern and London & North Western Railways and now all gone. In fact, regular passenger services were withdrawn as long ago as 1953, although the line continued to be used for freight and the occasional summer holiday special into the 1960s. An excellent account of this fascinating line - the reasons it was built and why it declined - can be found in P. Howard Anderson's book 'Forgotten Railways - The East Midlands', published by David & Charles in 1973. |
