English: The north end of Nottingham Victoria Station, 1959 The picture quality is low as it is scanned from a tiny print of a Kodak Brownie picture I took over 50 years ago, at the age of 11, but perhaps it is of interest in showing a scene which no longer exists. Nottingham Victoria and the Great Central route from Manchester and Sheffield to London Marylebone closed in 1967. The station was quickly demolished, apart from its clock tower, and most of its large site was filled by the Victoria shopping centre. Here LNER B1 4-6-0 61376 brings a train from Sheffield, which has just emerged from Mansfield Road Tunnel, into the very long main southbound platform. To the left and right of the engine are the sheer cuttings in the sandstone - the station platforms were a long way below street level, especially at the north end. The buildings on the skyline are those which once stood on York Road (left), Woodborough Road (centre) and Huntingdon Street (right). The lower-quadrant signal on the right, controlling departure from the bay platform, is one of the original Great Central ones (unlike the more modern types on the left of the picture). |
