Evening all,
I've been away in the UK for the past week, mainly visiting family (and with a day out in Derby for bus photographs). However, I did get a few railway-related photos as well.
Gedling Colliery opened in the 1890's and closed in 1991. The former rail-served site is now a country park, but some of the original railway equipment survives. In the hour or two spent walking around the park, I observed a former bridge (still maintained by Network Rail), rail-built bufferstop, telegraph pole, embedded rails, baseplate and a rather interesting chair. Click on any of the photos below or the link at the end to view them all
