Former rail bridge which took the Harlaxton Iron Quarry line under Gorse Lane. The quarry workings were spread over four square miles to the east and south East of Denton village and south of Harlaxton. The line connected to BR at Casthorpe exchange sidings on the LNER Denton Branch. The quarries first opened in 1941 and the bridge bears the date 1954. The quarries closed circa 1976 and the line was lifted and this Brutalist concrete bridge back-filled shortly after.

Popped into a little local spot I'd neglected to bother with until today, there was some sort of pikey/metal scrapping/hoarding operation going on in here until 2014, which explains the multitude of fridges left behind. The only structure is a large garage type building filled with household rubbish and a ride on mower...

'Mount Fridgemore'....

The mosaic was originally erected on St Chad's Circus , outside the City's Roman Catholic St Chad's Cathedral, in July 1968, at a cost of £5,000. When the road system was redeveloped in 2007 the mosaic was demolished. Key features, including the heads of some of the main figures, were retrieved and retained by Kenneth Budd's son Oliver. In 2012 it was re-created using new materials. The new mosaic was erected in January 2013, in the city's Irish Quarter, on Floodgate Street in Digbeth, in reworked form, including the controversial addition of a new face, that of former Lord Mayor of Birmingham Mike Nangle, the city's first Irish Lord Mayor. The work was overseen by Budd's son, Oliver, who worked from his father's original drawings. The retained sections were not used as the colours had faded and would not match the new Smalti mosaic tiles. A formal unveiling took place on 23 February 2013.

Pooleys were a firm of mechanical engineers, founded in Liverpool in the 18th century. They started to make platform scales c1835. Their main office was at the Albion Foundry, Liverpool until c1890 (before 1907), when it moved to John Bright Street, Birmingham. In 1913 the firm became part of the Avery organisation, but continued as a separate firm. The firm was responsible for supplying and maintaining the weights and scales of many railway companies.
