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.

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.

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.
