The local borough council have transformed the old Gedling colliery site into an excellent country park. In the café is a wall display that points out some of the links with the past, including this reference to Colwick marshalling yards on the Trent floodplain at the bottom of the hill.
Better known to us as Colwick sheds, the photo shows Class A3 No. 60048 Doncaster, and although Pacifics received attention there it was with freight engines that is was perhaps more usually associated.
