Pringle Wharf
A forgotten main line perhaps? Hardly. These robust piers carried sidings from the Leicester and Swannington Railway over the River Soar towards the Great Central (the white semi-circles in the right background are arches under Central station). The sidings actually passed under the GC, but stopped short of the Midland. This view in September 2012 seems to have been opened up by demolition - I remember a splendid Victorian building on the far side of the river, with external plumbing - a prototype for the Pompidou Centre in Paris, perhaps.
