DescriptionChesterfield Market Place station location geograph-3323702-by-Ben-Brooksbank.jpg
English: SW view towards site of Chesterfield Market Place station, 1988.
Market Place station was the western terminus of the ex-Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast section of the former Great Central Railway, which until December 1951 ran from here eastwards via Shirebrook (Langwith Junction) and Tuxford to Lincoln (Pyewipe Junction). After that date, trains ran only from Shirebrook to Lincoln, passenger trains until 19/9/55, but freight until the 1990s - even to the present day over some sections. The view is from a footbridge - no longer in existence - beside the ex-Midland main line by the (former) Horns Bridge Box, south of the present Chesterfield station and by the present A61, where the LD&EC line had been carried on a high viaduct over the Midland and the Great Central lines. [I owe much to David Robinson for helping in the location of this scene, which has changed out of all recognition, not only between 1951 and 1988 but since 1988].
