View NW on Hardwick Road at the A6175 roundabout, Heath station having been just the other side of the present roundabout. It was on the Sheffield via Staveley (to right) - (to left) Nottingham section of the ill-fated ex-GCR 'London Extension' main line; also the Chesterfield Loop on this route turned off a mile or so to the north (right), rejoining the through line at Staveley. The station was closed to passengers 4/3/63, when local services ceased (to goods on 12/6/65), but main line services continued until 5/9/66, with final closure on 11/9/67. (Cf. Image]).
