| Description |
English: View from the bridges on Jericho Lane, Barkestone (3). As you leave Barkestone on Jericho Lane you come to two bridges, see 63566. This is the view of the old railway cutting from the second of the two bridges, see 63567. This railway line used to link Bottesford, on the existing Nottingham to Grantham line, with Melton Mowbray, as well as serving the numerous ironstone workings in the area. The majority of these tracks were dismantled in the 1950s and '60s.
The land falls away at least 5 metres from the Grantham Canal, see 655682, down to the railway cutting. There is a narrow strip of dry pasture between the two, a testament to the navvies' puddling skills although there is some water lying at the foot of the cutting. This is probably due to natural drainage from the surrounding fields. |
