Hucknall Central Station
At its peak Hucknall had three passenger stations, the first of which was closed as early as 1931. In the 1960s the other two closed: Central in 1963 and Byron in 1964 (although the town has since regained a station on the Robin Hood Line). Central station was typical of the Great Central Railway's London extension with an island platform and buildings in a Jacobean architectural style; it opened in 1899. After closure the line continued to be used until September 1966. By the time this photograph was taken, about two years later, the track had been lifted but the buildings remained, albeit in a dilapidated condition - there was no attempt to prevent the public gaining access. See Image for a view of the station as it was in Edwardian times.

Occupation Road
This and a couple of adjacent streets of terraced houses formed an isolated community, well separated from the main part of Hucknall, for several decades before the main part of the current Hazelgrove estate was developed. The reason for the initial development is the proximity to the old Hucknall No.1 Colliery, for whose workers they would almost certainly have been provided.

The older terraced houses, on Occupation Road, are in marked contrast to their much more modern neighbours - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1907641 .

Park Drive railway bridge
The blue brick parapet on the left hand side of the road is now the only evidence that this is where the road crossed the former Great Central Railway main line. The railway trackbed has long since been completely overbuilt with housing. Interestingly, older maps show the bridge with its approaches, including the road junction on the far side, completely unconnected to the road network. Presumably there were already some ideas as to how the road network was expected to evolve.

The Central, Hucknall
Club which is anything but central but probably takes its name from the nearby site of the former Great Central Railway station.
