Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Railway Bridge, Belvoir Road, Denton. This bridge carried Belvoir Road over the Denton Branch. The branch line, from Belvoir Junction on the Nottingham-Grantham line (SK832384) was built in the 1880s by the Great Northern Railway. It terminated north of the Denton-Harston road (SK847321), from where quarry-owned railways (originally narrow gauge, but standard gauge from 1948 until closure in 1974) led to opencast ironstone pits at Denton, Harston and Cedar Hill. In 1941 the railway to quarries at Harlaxton was built, from Casthorpe Junction (SK861343) to Gorse Lane (SK878308), via a reversing point at Swine Hill (SK886320). See other photos nearby for more on the ironstone railways in this area.
