Archive Photo : Hucknall Central Station

Photo shows Hucknall Central Station. Access to the platform was from the footbridge (seen here), which ran alongside the main Watnall Road bridge.

The photo was taken from the south-east of the station, which had a small siding. However, the track seems to be missing from this photo, suggesting that it the photograph taken after the station had closed.
