  1. Blackstone Street was where the Great Central Railway Goods yard stables their horses underneath the Viaducts.
  2. Calling all nottsnostalgians ! Here is several of our railway albums! The latest addition to these is Kimberley featuring both Great Northern and Midland railway lines including Station buildings. We conducted this exploration utilising the reused track beds which now form important cycle and nature trails. We started to use old OS maps dating back one hundred years to locate railway relics following the original line routes of the old Great Central and Great Northern lines of about two miles. Also the second set of photo's were taken on the old Nottingham Suburban Railway in Woodthorpe.
  3. Calling all nottsnostalgians! Welcome to the new update of railway exploring which has been conducted this time utilising cycle routes which cover disused lines. This album focuses on Kimberley Great Northern and Midland lines in Nottinghamshire with Station buildings still in place although both in very contrasting states of repair. Please like comment and share our page which covers many aspects of Historic Nottingham with several albums on railways!
