Southwell railway station served passengers at Southwell, Nottinghamshire from 1847 to 1959 and freight up to 1964.

History

The station at Southwell opened on 1 July 1847 as a branch line from the Nottingham and Lincoln Railway at Fiskerton railway station[1] In 1862 gas lighting was introduced.[2]

In 1871 the line was extended to Mansfield by the contractors Eckersley and Baylis,[3] using cast iron bridges built by Handyside and Co. of Derby.[4] The Midland Railway took the opportunity to rebuild the platform shelters, and the station master's house was dismantled and rebuilt at Beeston railway station.

The Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area subject to subsidence, closed to passengers in 1929,[5] but the Southwell to Rolleston Junction section remained open until 1959 and freight services ended only in 1964.

Current situation

The route of the branch line is now a trail.

Rolleston Junction station remains open as Rolleston. It is close to Southwell Racecourse, about three miles (4.8 km) south-east of the town itself.
