Description:View from the Radford side of the railway bridge.
Until 1838 this area was known as Spittal Brook, but was changed in honour of the Coronation of Queen Victoria. The former name was a reference to the hospital of St. Leonard and the leper hospital which preceded it (the local public house changed its name to the Spittal Brook in 1999 from the Crown).
The road on the right of the bridge used to be a main road, crossing the railway by means of a level crossing, but in the late nineteenth century it was deemed to be dangerous and was replaced by the bridge which stands today.
