The North Midland Railway reached Clowne by 1888 with the opening of the Clowne and Mansfield branch off the Staveley line. Clowne had two railway stations, one built by the Midland Railway Co. the other, by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Co. This is the Midland Railway Station. The picture here shows a building on the far right above the bridge. This was the Chapel on North Road, which was demolished c2000. This track and building still exist but the track is disused and heavily overgrown.
