See alsoThree stations have included a version of "Creswell" in their name:
HistoryThe station was opened by the LD&ECR on its Beighton Branch on 1 June 1897.{{sfn|Dow|1965|p=161}} At first it was named simply "Cresswell" then "Creswell for Welbeck"{{sfn|Cupit|Taylor|1984|loc=opposite p23}} and later "Creswell and Welbeck". Locally it was known as "Top Station" to distinguish it from "Bottom Station" which was the ex-Midland Railway Elmton and Creswell station further down Elmton Road. The August 1939 Bradshaw continued to list the station as "Cresswell and Welbeck."{{sfn|Booth|2013|p=37}} The station had wooden platforms and appears from one of the rare photographs of the site to have been built of wood.{{sfn|Booth|2013|loc=page 41, bottom right}} The characteristic and striking LD&ECR awnings closely resemble the Sheffield District Railway stations at {{rws|Catcliffe}} and {{rws|West Tinsley}}. The equally characteristic station lamps match those visible at {{rws|Arkwright Town}}, among others.{{sfn|Little|2002|p=34}} From Langwith Junction the line ran northwards parallel to the Midland Railway's Nottingham Midland to Worksop line for about two miles, then veered north west to Creswell. Curiously, "Elmton and Creswell" station was nearer Welbeck than "Creswell and Welbeck" station which was in turn nearer Elmton than "Elmton and Creswell". The station closed to passengers in September 1939, and goods some time thereafter. The station signalbox, which had a Railway Signalling Company 28 lever frame, was abolished on 4 April 1950.{{sfn|Booth|2013|p=41}} The line through the site was closed completely in 1967 when it was diverted further South and severed further North in connection with building the M1 motorway. All tracks have since been lifted and the station demolished, though the characteristic LD&ECR stationmaster's house still stands, as can be seen on the accompanying photograph. The line then climbed at 1 in 100 to {{rws|Clowne South}}. {{Disused Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous={{rws|Clowne South}} Line and station closed |next={{rws|Shirebrook North}} Line and station closed |route=Great Central Railway LD&ECR |col={{GCR colour}} }}{{end}} ReferencesNotesSources{{refbegin}}
