Description: This view shows the site of Whittington Road Crossing on the ex-Midland Railway Sheepbridge Branch with the former gatehouse on the left. The railway had closed in 1983 and by the date of this photo, some years later, the track had been lifted and little remained of the level crossing, the fresh-looking strip of tarmac being where the rails previously crossed the road. See DCCC002354 for a view taken in 1930 and further detail on this location.
