When the Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway opened its station at Edwinstowe in 1897 considerable Robin-Hood-related tourist traffic to Edwinstowe was anticipated and the line was marketed as The Dukeries Route. The Dukeries Hotel (now Dukeries Lodge) was built close to the four-platform station, with Railway Tea Rooms opposite (on the left in this picture, and now a Chinese takeaway). The Dukeries Hotel was partly burned out in 1929, but subsequently rebuilt.
