The photographer is standing on the waste line from Stockingford brickworks see image 39228; while the lateral line of trees in the background is growing in a cutting which was made for the Griff Colliery branch. View across Lingmoor Park. This branch also served a claypit for the brickworks. Both products went out to the centre, or South, in this view.
