View southward on ex-Midland trunk lines, from Sheffield, Leeds etc, via Chesterfield, towards Nottingham and the South by the Erewash Valley line (to left), Derby, Birmingham and the South-West (to the right). In former days, 20+ years before, there would always have been at least one train in this scene, but in 1983 - even on a Summer Saturday there was nothing in sight. Virtually no trace of the four-platform station can be seen either.
