Site of former Kirkby Bentinck station, 2000
View westward from the B6018 road at Castle Hill near Kirkby-in-Ashfield, towards Chesterfield and Sheffield along the course of the ex-GCR Sheffield - Nottingham - London etc. main line! The station and this section of the line had been closed from 4/3/63 and the area has been totally transformed since the 1980s' closure of the numerous collieries and associated railways: in the past there had been five railway stations in this immediate area. (This station had been 'Kirkby & Pinxton' until 1/3/25).

Bentinck Town
Looking west along Laburnum Avenue to the junction with Pinxton Road. Bentinck Town was named after the Duke of Portland (family name Cavendish-Bentinck), who owned the land and mines in this area and whose family were prominent British politicians. The name is originally Dutch. Hans William, Baron Bentinck, (later 1st Earl of Portland) was originally sent to England in 1677 to solicit for William of Orange the hand of Mary, daughter of the Duke of York (later James II). He was instrumental in the Dutch invasion and the reign of William and Mary.

Church Hill postbox (Kirkby-in-Ashfield) ref NG17 411
Standard EVIIR pillar box, missing all its collection information and in dire need of a repaint. By no means the only scruffy postbox in the area.

St Wilfrid's Park
I think the route only has this name because of houses which have been built to the right which require this road as access. It follows the line of a former railway.
