Butler's Hill railway station (site), Nottinghamshire
Opened in 1882 by the Great Northern Railway on the line from Nottingham (Victoria) and Colwick to Shirebrook, this station closed to passengers in 1931. The site was eventually redeveloped for housing.
View south east towards Bestwood Colliery and Nottingham from a similar position to

View southward, towards Nottingham (Victoria) and Colwick Yard etc.; ex-Great Northern Leen Valley line, Nottingham and Netherfield & Colwick - Shirebrook. The station closed to passengers when the service was withdrawn on 14/9/31, but coal traffic still ran over this stretch until 1968.

Tram approaching Butlers Hill
The right hand track is the Nottingham to Mansfield Railway, which was singled to provide space for the tram. The original intention was to have mixed tram and rail operation on the principle developed by Nottingham's twin city Karlsruhe, but it turned out to be impracticable to meet the requirements of the railway authorities.
