Spondon
View west at Spondon towards Derby on 21 February see image 42222 in an area full of history. The Derby-Nottingham canal survives as a path beyond the flats on the right; while the East entrance to Chaddesden yard was just beyond the road bridge (Raynesway) in the distance. The sidings on the left serve the Celanese works, which is under threat of 'lift and shift' to China. Finally, the grey gate on the left used to access a sizeable signalbox. The approaching DMU is heading for Nottingham.
