History


The station was opened in 1917 by the Mansfield Railway, along with Kirkby-in-Ashfield Central and Sutton-in-Ashfield Central. The line, and its stations, was worked by the Great Central Railway and became part of the LNER in 1923 and subsequently British Railways in 1948.


Most regular passenger trains plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe[3][4] and Ollerton.[5] In the station's early years some services plied between Mansfield Central and stations between Warsop and Chesterfield Market Place.[6]


Timetabled services ceased on 3 January 1956, though Summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe[7][8] continued until 8 September 1962.[9]


The line through the station was closed on 7 January 1968 and subsequently lifted. The station and its associated earthworks were razed to the ground in 1972.
