Stood at those gates many a time as a small boy ….  ISTR they were manually-operated by an elderly chap who sat in a tiny cabin, just off-picture to the left. The arch that carried the former Nottingham Suburban Railway had an astonishing ‘ringing’ echo for a comparatively narrow bridge. 
 

Really looking forward to seeing it all “again”!
