A view of Station Lane from near its junction with Spring Lane. The former Farnsfield railway station building, now a private residence and previously part of the Mansfield-Southwell line (1875-1929) lies a 4-5 minute walk away behind the photographer. The centre of the village is a 2-3 minutes walk ahead. Station Lane was once known as Sidings Lane.

A residential cul de sac off Cockett Lane near the west end of the village.

The 'sweep in' drive in front of a former G.P's surgery on Station Lane. The new medical centre is situated 2 minutes walk away behind the photographer, near the Cricket Field.

The large property on the right was a former G.P's surgery. Its 'sweep in' drive is off Station Lane. The new medical centre is situated 2 minutes walk away - to the left - near the Cricket Field, Station Lane.

By the end of a 6 year project (2003-2009) this "Old Goods Yard” property had been converted into a six bedroom, three-storey house. It dates from the 1870s and was formerly used to store goods brought into the village on this route between Southwell Mansfield. Farnsfield Station was closed to passenger traffic in 1929 and to goods traffic in 1964, after which this building was no longer used and had been vandalised and gutted by fire. Access to a car park, a picnic area and the Southwell Trail lie a minute's walk ahead. This track off Station Lane provides access to a single residential property and an access point onto the Southwell Trail. The 7.5 mile former railway trail runs from Southwell to Bilsthorpe, via Kirklington and Farnsfield.

Looking south on a damp afternoon. Neat Farnsfield bungalows on the left around the entrance to Birch Avenue.

Farnsfield Station was closed to passenger traffic in 1929 and to goods traffic in 1964, after which this building was no longer used and had been vandalised and gutted by fire. The Southwell Trail is accessible immediately behind the photographer, whereas Station Lane - leading into the village - is less than 2 minute's walk ahead, behind this house.

This looks very much like an old goods shed, now converted for residential, or possibly business, use. Farnsfield lies on a junction of old railways. The roadway follows the alignment of the Mansfield, Southwell and Rolleston Junction Railway, built in 1847, closed to passengers in 1959 and wholly in 1964.
