Disused Station Walk Around - Staveley Works Hollingwood, Great Central Railway UK

Disused Station Walk Around - Staveley Works Staveley Works Station opened in 1892 in the village of Hollingwood near Chesterfield. It was part of the Chesterfield Loop of the Great Central Railway. It was opened as a primary purpose to serve the neighbouring Stavaley Works Foundry. Large chemical and heavy industry surrounded the station at the time. When the railway was built, the nearby canal was diverted to what is know known as the Hollingwood Hub and canal lock. As the GCR fell in to decline, the line and station closed in 1963. These days, the canal lock is a busy hub for cyclists, runners and walkers who are enjoying the canal towpath. Parts of the station still remain on the western side of the station where overgrown platforms and trackbed can be seen. A large part of the station and platforms were over a bridge over the canal. This bridge is now demolished, leaving the station site cut in two. One visible feature of the remains is the old subway at the western end of the station. The steps may be gone but the iron supports across the trackbed and platform are still clearly on show. You can visit the station by following the Transpennine Trail between Sheffield and Chesterfield. **Wobbly Runner** Please give the video a like and hit subscribe. My channel was set up in 2020 mainly to feature my running adventures. I planned to film and showcase the days out and destinations my running travels took me. Mainly the Peak District and the sights and marvels of Sheffield and the surrounding regions. However due to Covid restrictions, I found a new interest in researching and exploring old abandoned places - railway lines, canal, woodland, parks to name a few. So the videos you'll find will be mainly be of those things. Of course, where possible I'll be running to my destination. Facebook Page -   / wobbly.runner   Instagram -   / wobbly.runner
