Hucknall Central railway station was a station in Hucknall on the Great Central Railway's main line from Manchester to London.

Construction

Hucknall Central was of the larger 'town' variety of stations on the Great Central main line, with access to the island platform being via a footbridge from the booking hall which sat on the eastern side of the line. More comprehensive passenger facilities were provided at Hucknall, similar to Loughborough Central and Rugby Central stations, though not quite as lavish as in those cases. The station was constructed circa 1896-1898 by the contractors Logan and Hemmingway.

History

The station opened as Hucknall Town on 15 March 1899 as part of the Great Central Railway's London extension. Soon after grouping as part of the London and North Eastern Railway, the station was renamed to Hucknall Central on 1 June 1923. The station was closed to both passengers and goods on 4 March 1963, along with most other local stations on the line.

Present day

All that remains of the station is the road overbridge. The cutting in which the station lay has been filled in on both sides of this bridge, with a housing development on the south side.
