View of the Grand Junction line from Neachells Lane Bridge, looking towards Noose Lane Level Crossing and Willenhall. 1978. The houses on the left had recently been built on waste ground that we always knew as "Noose Lane Banks". In 1974 there was an derailment at this point, which partially demolished the signal box protecting Noose Lane. After completion of the demolition a temporary gate keepers structure was erected (just visible in the photograph) and modern barriers replaced the old level crossing gates.
