At one time Kimberley had two railways. The former Great Northern line between Nottingham and Derby outlasted the old Midland route but was in the end a casualty of the Beeching era, closing to passengers in 1964 and completely four years later. Here the old trackbed has been converted into a path and access is available from Church Hill. The British Transport Commission style station sign advertises the path's presence.
