| The old footbridge |

| Unfortunately the steps are gone I think the view would of been amazing |
The frosty morning left me undaunted to go to Draughton crossing which is close to Maidwell village to take some shots of this magnificent piece of architecture that remains as a monument to a once great time when railways were kings of transport.
A chance meeting with a couple walking there dogs revealed a time of when steam trains once graced this line. The gentleman explained how he grew up in Maidwell and as a boy used to watch steam trains trundle by and how he would stand at the top of the bridge waiting for a train to pass under engulfing him in steam. It made me very very jealous
