Looking at the back of the brickworks, the track divided up as it entered the works through a set of gates. The right hand track lead to the main tipping shed. Just visible to the right of this is another turnout, leading to the loco shed which is indicated by the set of closed doors on the right.

For the first 0.5km, after leaving the brickworks, the line ran alongside the road, and as seen here, crossed the access road to a lay-by on the main road. The brickworks can just be seen in the centre of the photo, between the trees.

The line had a very difficult route out to the claypits. After running next to the lay-by, it traveled over a large combined road/rail bridge, over a canal, and then a river. After this, it crossed underneath another main road as seen here, before entering a wood, and negotiating an ungated road crossing to access the pit.
