Dist:0.6km<br/>The remains of two weighbridges in the cutting approaching Newbold tunnel. The line, which served New Lount colliery, closed when the mine closed in 1968. These walls are the remains of the two weighbridges that weighed the wagons individually as they passed over the bridge. The loaded waggons pulled by the train passed by the weighbridges and into the tunnel before reversing back over them.

The street joining at the junction is Ashby Road. The large boulder is of the local stone; there are numerous quarries in the area, both working and disused, the nearest being at Cloud Hill in [[SK4121]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>This section of railway was originally built as part of the Coleorton Railway, opened in 1833 and closed in 1860. It was reopened in 1924 to connect the newly-sunk New Lount colliery with the LMSR line from Ashby-de-la-Zouch to Derby. When the colliery closed in 1968 the line was closed and lifted for the second time.
