Photographic notes
You can shoot in both directions, although facing south from 11am to 2pm may be a problem. Looking south you can view the actual junction of the two lines, Clay Cross goods shed being on the left (now owned by the National Tramway Museum), plenty of foliage on both sides and the remains of the Clay Cross Pipe works in the distance - this view faces almost directly south. Facing north is the ladder junction from the up and down main onto the up and down goods, the line curves slightly westwards after about 1/2 mile. there are trees on both sides of the line and the sides of the bridge are high - about 5 foot. Note: There is another bridge about 1/2 to 3/4 mile north - on Bridge Street - that will yeild similar photos - the bridge sides are slightly lower and the location offers fine views toawrds Chesterfield, although northbound services can creep up unexpectedly!
