Carnarvon Street, SUTTON-IN-ASHFIELD, NG17 3HJ

Beyond the picnic area to the right of the Teversal Visitors' Centre a path connects the car parking area with "The Link Trail" where cyclists and walkers can leave or access either "The Skegby Trail" or "The Teversal Trail". Various other local amenities are situated on the right of this spot including Fackley Cricket Club's ground and a children's playground area. Carnarvon Street, behind the photographer, provides a link with Fackley Road (the B6014) that links Stanton Hill, Nottinghamshire and Tibshelf, Derbyshire.

This superb Green Man is carved into an old tree stump near to the Teversal Trails Visitors Centre. The Teversal Trails are concessionary footpaths that cover a range of old railway tracks and Colliery land.

A few of the small number of permanent exhibits in "The Teversal Coal Garden" at the side of a footpath that links the Teversal Visitors' Centre and a ramblers' and cyclists' "Link Trail" 2-3 minutes walk ahead through the trees ahead. On view is an obsolete methane gas pump and two coal 'tubs' from the former Silverhill Colliery, plus a small winding wheel, all of which have been set into a grassed area as memorial to many former miners and of their pits.

This footpath is one of many forming the Teversal Trails. The land was formerly railway track and Colliery land.

Teversal Manor Station functioned between 1866-1963 when it finally ceased to function - for passengers at least - as a result of the Beeching British Railways rationalisation programme. The line linked with Pleasley. This (replica ?) platform on what is now a cycling and rambling trail is approximately 5 minutes walk from The Carnarvon Arms pub in Fackley - alongside the B6014 road - and it can be accessed ahead through the gate and footpath on the right. The bench commemorates the service of Louis Zelickman, the final Station Master, who worked here between 1946-64. When station closed, and following his retirement, he continued to live at the nearby Station Master's House until his death in 2008.

  The photograph shows the Teversal Coal Garden and visitor car park. On the right of the car park is the visitor's centre. Behind the viewpoint is access to Image via Image and hence on to the Silverhill, Teversal and Skegby Trails.

This is the site of the Midland Railway station. Teversal also had a station of the Great Northern Railway and this was located to the north of the Midland station.
