Waleswood railway station
Waleswood railway station is a former railway station on the Great Central Railway's main line between Sheffield Victoria and Worksop, England. The station was opened on 1 July 1907 by public demand, where the road from Rotherham to Clowne road below the line and the Waleswood Curve, a connection from the Derbyshire Lines of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway at Killamarsh, joins the east–west main line. It was adjacent to Waleswood Colliery. The station buildings were of all wood construction with flanking wooden platforms. The station booking hall suffered a major fire on 24 May 1953, when much internal damage was caused and rail traffic was disrupted. The station was closed on 7 March 1955 and has since been demolished.
