Nottingham Towards Kirkby in Ashfield- The GCR Route 1898 to 1966

The Great Central route north of Nottingham has been closed for over fifty years and has largely been obliterated from the landscape. It is hard to believe the Nottingham to Kirkby section included a marshalling yard, loco shed and several junctions as it laced its way up the Leen Valley alongside two other railway companies. It may have gone but has not been forgotten.
