Description: The North Midland Railway reached Staveley by 1841 when the original Barrow Hill station opened on April 6th. It closed on November 15th 1888 and with the opening of the Clowne and Mansfield branch the new station opened the same date. The station was renamed 'Barrow Hill & Staveley Works'. An engine shed was built near the station in 1865 with a capacity for four engines. (information from www.barrowhill.org.uk)
