Daybrook Junction signal box (LNER). This is where the Nottingham Suburban Railway curved away southwards through Woodthorpe to stations at Sherwood, St Ann's Well and Thorneywood before crossing Sneinton Dale and Colwick Road to the terminus at Nottingham London Road (Now a fitness centre.)
The line running roughly on an east to west axis was built by the Great Northern Railway from Colwick via Gedling, Daybrook, and Basford to Derby with many branches to service the coalfields on the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire borders. Arrangements with other railway companies enabled the GNR (LNER after 1923) to claimn some of Burton on Trent's beer consignments and goods traffic from Lancashire and Yorkshire via the lines extending up the Leen Valley to Annesley.
