How many of these old railway stations from around Derbyshire, Mansfield and Ashfield do you recognise?

A new book is set to be published with dozens of fascinating photographs of the railway network from yesteryear around North Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

The book – Ambergate to Mansfield – includes images from Mansfield, Ashfield, and lines running from Chesterfield, through Ripley to Little Eaton, near Belper.

The book will soon be published by Middleton Press and is priced at £18.95.

Here are some of the images . . .
