Great Central Railway, Leicester

[Goldie87]

Although I did exploring in the past, i either didn't take pictures or they have been lost. However some pictures of my explores of the Great Central survive! The first four were taken in 1999, the rest in 2001. Nothing particularly exciting, but a lot of what is pictured no longer exists.

Bow String Bridge is where road rail and canal all meet at the same point,an interesting bridge that Leicester Council are intent on demolishing.Like some of the other buildings theve managed to destroy.
