Basford North railway station
Basford North railway station was a railway station which served Basford and Bulwell in Nottinghamshire, England. It was close to the River Leen, which the line crossed on a nine-arch brick viaduct.
History
Built by the Great Northern Railway on its Derbyshire Extension in 1875–6 the station was originally called Dob Park, as it was built on land belonging to that estate, but was quickly renamed to Basford and Bulwell and later renamed again to Basford North in order to avoid confusion with the nearby Midland Railway station originally named Basford which opened in 1848. The station closed to passengers in 1964 and to goods three years later. There were further stations in Bulwell at Bulwell Common, Bulwell Forest and Bulwell Hall Halt.
