Near site of Kirkby-in-Ashfield (LMS) station, 2000
View eastward on B6020 Urban Road/Station Street, Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Actually, this is just past where underneath ran the ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop line, the station ('Kirkby-in-Ashfield East' from 15/6/59) being on the north side of this road. It had been a junction of a line from Pye Bridge and closed 6/9/65, when workmens' train from Pye Bridge ceased, the Nottingham - Worksop service having ceased 12/10/64. In more recent times it has been restored, on a different route (q.v.), as the Robin Hood Line.

Down freight passing Kirkby-in-Ashfield East Station
View southward, towards Nottingham and Pye Bridge; ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop line, junction of line from Pye Bridge. This station was closed on 6/9/65 and although the ex-Midland Nottingham - Mansfield - Worksop route was revived in the 1990s as the Robin Hood Line, through Kirkby this followed the alignment of the parallel ex-Great Northern (Leen Valley) line and the new Kirkby Station (opened on 17/11/96) was built on that alignment. The locomotive here heading a Down Class H freight is LMS 4F 0-6-0 No. 44531.

Ashfield District Council Offices
Date from 1986. An opportunity to provide some dignity to the centre of Kirkby in Ashfield was lost with the construction of these offices.
