Loanhead

Long lens view north east from the bridge that once carried Church Street over the railway in Loanhead, Midlothian. Photograph taken in February 2011, by which time this section of the EL&R, which last served Bilston Glen Colliery, had not seen a train for 20 years, with the trackbed since converted to a walkway. Up ahead the route passes below the crossroads at the centre of the town, with the remains of the former Loanhead station located just beyond.
