Full Description
(Stretch from Leicester) Changes of alignment at Willoughby, Cotgrave Gorse (where the road is raised 2-3ft), just beyond Ad Pontem, and finally at Potter Hill. The modern road diverges from the line at Broughton Lodge, from Syerston to East Stoke, and between Langford and Brough. Stretches of the agger are seen away from the present roadline on the way out of Newark, and a long stretch opposite Langford Hall. There is also an alternative line at Syerston, appearing as a faint ridge in the fields and known locally as The Hump. (1)
Grid ref is for southern crossing of county boundary.
