The course of the Mid Nottinghamshire Joint Railway The Mid-Nottinghamshire Joint Railway opened in 1931 and this section closed in 1966. As planned the railway would have run along the spine of Nottinghamshire linking the collieries on the eastern edge of the coalfield with the various main lines. The line was never completed and only really served the colliery at Bilsthorpe (and to a lesser extent that at Ollerton). 
Here the track bed is overgrown and the bridge, which stood at the point from which this photograph was taken, has been infilled.
