Kimberley: once the goods yard
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 8 Sep 2017
This street is The Sidings, built on where the goods yard of Kimberley East station once was. A large wooden goods shed survived for a number of years after the Nottingham Victoria to Derby Friargate line closed (to passengers on 7 September 1964 and to goods on 2 November of that year). The line was built by the Great Northern Railway in the 1870s, chiefly to serve the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire collieries. The view is from the footbridge (now renewed) which crossed the railway.
