Derby Friargate Station, GNR

Post by Rlangham »

I used to live in Friargate in Derby, where the old railway bridge and GNR Warehouse still exist, and if you look on aerial photos a decent chunk of the route, considering it's just outside the city centre, can still be seen - does anyone have any interesting photos of the Station and area when in use?

and -The ex GN branch from Nottingham Victoria to Derby Friargate
