[Slacker]

My Dad worked there late 1940s  & early 50s with National service in between

[Old Cruser]

Where did that line run too Pete?

[Pete]

TBH I don't know, I just collect old pictures.

I think Slacker knows a bit about the railways in Hasland.

[Slacker]

I'm not aware of the family having any photos from there which is a shame

Nice detective work there Flyboy.

[Old Cruser]

Thanks Fly - they would link with the Chesterfield line then. I think the railway cottages are still there aren't they?

[Pete]

There is a terrace or two of railway cottages off storforth lane if that's where you meant.

[Scimitar]

I think theres some at Corbriggs too.

[Old Cruser]

Yes Pete they are ones I mean

[Old Cruser]

We have a new group in our village for ocal history.
Next meeting is on the Ashover Light Railway, I'm looking forward to that.

A few years ago I used to go to the local history society in Chesterfied Library, one of the tallks was on the ALR with a brief old cine clip loved it - very interesting to see where it ran.

I can remember the railway station at Tupton - Beeching got rid of it along with others
