New Basford: Camelot Avenue

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: New Basford: Camelot Avenue
It is hard to believe that this was once the site of a main line railway. Camelot Avenue is built on the site of the station and goods yard of New Basford station. Famous Nottingham railway photographers such as Gordon Hepburn and Tom Boustead stood approximately where I stood to take this snap to take their pictures of trains bursting out of Sherwood Rise Tunnel on the uphill slog from Nottingham Victoria. The remains of the tunnel are hidden in the trees directly ahead - see SK5642 : The remains of Sherwood Rise Tunnel. 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.
