15 fantastic retro photos of Mansfield and Ashfield's railways
Our railway network served passengers and freight for decades until its closure, which resulted in Mansfield being cut off from the rail network for many years.
Before the rail network reopening in 1995, Mansfield was the biggest town in England to be without access to a railway service.
We have searched through our archives to find memories of Mansfield and Ashfield trains, showing the bridges and stations we have lost, along with memories of model railway exhibitions from years gone by.
Do you remember when Nottingham Road had railway bridges going over it?
This particular bridge, near to the entrance of Titchfield Park, is being removed in August 1970. Photo: Chad
