Beeching cuts: The railway network in Nottinghamshire

• "Possible Thinkbelt development in old industrial net between Nottingham and Sheffield 30–40 miles (i.e. half length of Los Angeles)"
• (Cedric Price, AD 5/69)

[edit] INTRODUCTION

When I first started my slot as Designing Buildings' Guest Editor I searched the site using the term 'Beeching cuts'.

The result of my search on the site found an article entitled "Beeching cuts". However, the article did not contain any detailed information about changes to the railway network in Nottinghamshire. I therefore searched the site using the term 'Beeching cuts: The railway network in Nottinghamshire'.

The results of my search on the site stated:—

• "This page does not exist. Click here to create the page "Beeching cuts: The railway network in Nottinghamshire"

I therefore created the page "Beeching cuts: The railway network in Nottinghamshire" with a copy of the animated image shown above:—

My next step was to search the web using the same term.

Below are my reasons for having chosen particular news articles describing the impact of the Beeching cuts on the railway network in Nottinghamshire.

[edit] Why have I chosen the particular news articles from the site and from the web?

I have chosen the following articles:—

1. Unattributed (created 2020-01-28) 'Beeching cuts', Designing Buildings;
2. Archiblog (created 2023-11-17) 'Dukeries Thinkbelt', Designing Buildings;
3. Nicholson, A. (2010) 'Railways', on The Nottinghamshire Heritage Gateway, Thoroton Society of Nottinghamshire;
4. Disused Stations contributors (last updated 2019-06-10) 'Disused Stations', disused-stations.org

• Table 1: Two news articles from the Designing Buildings site.

In addition to photographs it also provides maps and detailed information about all of these stations. • Annesley • Hucknall Central • Newstead & Annesley • Skegby • Images showing disused stations formerly belonging to the Great Central Railway
