Clarendon Park - the site of Carrington railway station
This business park is built on the filled-in site of Carrington Station, which stood between Mansfield Road and Sherwood Rise Tunnels on the Great Central line from Nottingham Victoria. The platforms were about 25ft below the present ground level. The station was only open to passengers from 1899-1928 (trams were a more convenient way to and from the city), but its derelict remains were a good place for truanting schoolboys to go trainspotting until the line closed in 1968. The south portal of Sherwood Rise Tunnel was directly under where the cars are parked; the red-brick wall to their left, belonging to the Victorian house on Clumber Avenue, was the boundary of the railway land. For an idea of Carrington Station nearly 50 years before, see

The corner of First Avenue and Sherwood Rise
First, Second and Third Avenues were some of the first suburban developments north of The Forest, with some substantial houses dating from c 1850-70, the period of the Borough's initial expansion after the Enclosure Act of 1845. The striking west front of the Polish Church of Our Lady of Czestochow is on the other side of Sherwood Rise.
