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).
