![Dist:0.5km<br/>This little bridge carries an offshoot of the main railway line across the bridleway from Piccadilly to [[[1084192]]]. This is the view northwestwards, i.e. from the Piccadilly side looking towards Slateley. The view from the other side can be seen here [[[1084210]]]
This line used to be used to bring coal from the former Birch Coppice Colliery, and also passes by [[[70103]]] where there are sidings. The colliery is now closed, but the line is set to get even busier as it now terminates at the [[[603341]]].](http://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/08/42/1084207_b0769f01_120x120.jpg "SP2297 : Slateley Railway Bridge, Piccadilly - from SE")
![Dist:0.5km<br/>This little bridge carries an offshoot of the main railway line across the bridleway from [[[1084164]]] via [[[1084192]]] to Piccadilly.

![Dist:0.5km<br/>This quite new pub and restaurant, built maybe 20 years ago serves Piccadilly, which until it was built did not have a pub that I'm aware of, though I think it may have had a Working Men's Club. Perryman Drive which leads up to it was built at the same time and is named after Steve Perry - a very good sportsman in his time - and the father of the builder and original owner of the pub.
[Edit] I'm reliably informed that, rather than having been built from scratch, the pub as it is now is actually a conversion of the pre-existing Working Men's Club to which I alluded above.](http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/08/43/1084368_e7d0bd67_120x120.jpg "SP2297 : The Sportsman's Arms, Piccadilly")
![Dist:0.6km<br/>This panoramic shot shows [[[1084192]]] on the left with Homeleigh Barn extending to the right (only part of which can be seen in the other photo). This is the view from the bridleway having passed under the railway via [[[1084207]]] and continued up the lane a little way. Slateley is too small to be even considered as a hamlet - I think the usual designation for such a small place is either "locality" or "place", but neither category exists, so I'll categorize it as "farm (converted)" as I believe that most of these building to the right have been.](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/08/41/1084194_8639dbca_120x120.jpg "SP2298 : Slateley")
![Dist:0.7km<br/>This distant view shows a side view of [[[1084194]]]. The large house to the left is [[[1084192]]] while the whitish house on the right is Slateley Hall Farmhouse, which cannot be seen in any of the closer photos of Slateley that I took. This photo was taken from the bridge over the M42 which allows access to the neighbouring Holt Hall Farm. It is a digital zoom of the top left corner of [[[1084298]]] taken from [[[1084314]]]](http://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/08/42/1084221_79ac38d0_120x120.jpg "SP2298 : Slateley from Holt")
![Dist:0.8km<br/>The shunt frame controlling the connections to the sidings at Kingsbury and also the recently re-instated branch to [[603341]]. In the locomotives in the background are in a scrap merchants yard awaiting the torch.](http://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/60/33/603353_e9d4d6bf_120x120.jpg "SP2197 : Kingsbury Junction")
