What an incredible photo!
On the line, long gone, that ran from Pinxton,Nottinghamshire, to join the line to Nottingham Victoria at Awsworth Junction, was a viaduct known locally as "Forty Bridges. This had quite a few of the arches bricked up and these had houses in them. As a kid in the 1950's I can remember going in, the by then derelict houses. The staircases were still in them and the lathe and plaster ceilings, very unsafe though and even we little brats did'nt dare try and climb up them.
