Chesterfield Road railway station
Chesterfield Road railway station was a small station on the Ashover Light Railway and it served the village of Old Tupton, near Clay Cross, North East Derbyshire, England. The station was situated just before a large bridge that went over the Chesterfield to Derby road. It had a small wooden shelter, and was accessed by a flight of steps down to the road. It was one of the busier stations on the line because buses passed at half-hourly intervals. In 1940, the wooden shelter was destroyed in a gale, and the pieces were used to construct a small store-shed at the back of the Clay Cross locomotive shed. After closure in 1950. The site was demolished and nothing remains of the station or trackbed.
