When walking along the old track bed a couple of years ago towards Bestwood Village, I noticed that there was some pieces of track still in situ. It was not long after veering right, from the Hucknall Rd - Moorbridge Rd junction.
The track you saw was remnants of the old Bestwood, Hucknall colliery line.

Does anyone know what the wall enclosed that goes around the bottom of Bagnall Road and goes around onto Stockhill Lane.There is arched doorways that are stoned up and looks like it could have been some sort of castle years ago.

Once Big K closes this month, that's it, no more deep mined coal in the UK. Hatfield closed a week back, unable to produce coal to keep it in the black...Coal is around $45 a ton on the spot market at present, Hatfield couldn't cut coal for that. They were told to stop cutting coal, clear the pit. By the end of the week shafts were starting to be filled in, all equipment left!!
i went past hatfield on train to hull pit is right next the track i havent been past for 6 months ididnt know that it had closed ,reilly surprised me .

whoops! should have mentioned which nags head! it was jones's near the mill cafe, now a volvo dealership. on a similar note, anybody know the name of the pop factory on highbury vale, opposite (ish) the oxford pub, could have been corona, but i thought that corona was a national brand not a local nottingham brand.
i still love cream soda from tasting corona's back in the day!
the pop factory on highbury vale opposit oxford pub was redferns
