Station Road, Langwith Junction
Formerly leading to the railway station after which the village was named. The station, latterly renamed Shirebrook North, was built by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway, and was the point at which a branch towards Sheffield left the "main line" to Chesterfield; there were also links to the Midland Railway's line from Mansfield to Worksop, which passes a little way to the east.

Former Shirebrook North
This is the site of the former Shirebrook North railway station. Before this name it was known as Langwith Junction due to the number of lines from different companies that passed through this point. The Robin Hood line running on the former Midland Railway lines is the only survivor.

RCTS 'Eight Counties' Rail Tour train at Shirebrook North on Leen Valley line
View SE, towards Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Nottingham. The Tour had started at Northampton and ran via Market Harborough, Leicester and Nottingham Midland to Netherfield & Colwick; there it was reversed and B1 4-6-0 No. 61302 (built 3/48, withdrawn 4/66 - directly after this Tour) took over to go via Nottingham (London Road High Level and Victoria), Bagthorpe and Bulwell Junctions onto the ex-GN Leen Valley line to Shirebrook North, thence via Beighton and Treeton Junctions, Rotherham Masborough and Aldwarke Junction to Wath Exchange Sidings. From there an Electric hauled the train up the Worsbrough Incline and through Penistone and the New Woodhead Tunnel to Godley Junction. There a 'Jubilee' 4-6-0 conveyed us via Stockport, Altrincham, Northwich and Sandbach round to Crewe, where we were handed over to another Electric for a fast run up the WCML back to Northampton!
