Lenton Times

The Magazine of Lenton Local History Society

A section of a 1913 map of the railways in the Nottingham area focussing on what was to be seen in the Lenton area.

 A 1987 shot of the main Nottingham to Derby line looking towards Nottingham from the Lenton Lane road bridge.  On the right is the walkway known as Bird Cage Walk which used to provide pedestrian access to the footpath running alongside the side of the Ordnance factory.

 An undated photograph showing a train emerging from the section of track which used to go under Bird Cage Walk.  Presumably this section of track would once have provided Clifton Colliery with access to the main line.

Photograph dated 5th March 1969, showing Lenton North Junction. Abbey Bridge can be seen beyond the electricity pylon (back right).
