Formerly Rolleston Junction and the link with the Southwell branch line, the station has lost all its original buildings apart from the station house. After the two-mile straight stretch from the town as far as Southwell racecourse, the branch line once curved into the island platform, to join the Nottingham to Newark main line.
A concrete former signal post with a finial on top was the only visible reminder of the railway along the metalled road that takes the former branch line’s course. It was a damp, cold, overcast March day and the photos I took with my phone appear suitably dismal.
