Fragmentary remains (now removed) of the Boots rail sidings network represent various phases of development from the 1930s through to the latter half of the 20th century. They formed an integral part of the Boots complex allowing raw materials to be transported directly from the national rail network to the factory which revolutionised the industrial manufacturing process. The site was served by sidings which connected with the south-east side of the LSMR Nottingham to Beeston line. The standard gauge lines were located to the west of the works next to an effluent treatment plant with a single entry/exit line. There were separate sidings extending down a number of the avenues that provided road access to the buildings within the site. Two lines ran directly through building D10. Rail traffic to Boots ceased in 1981 and the track was donated to the Midland Railway Trust. (1)
Two areas retained tracks, one to the west of buildings D1 and D10...centred at SK 54265 36451 and one within Sixth Avenue to the north of buildings D13 and D113, centred at SK 54469 36455. (1)
