History

The halt initially known as Hollin Well and Annesley opened on the London extension of the Great Central Railway on 1 November 1901, serving Notts Golf Club's new Hollinwell golf course; the club had guaranteed £200 a year in receipts.[1] The station had two wooden platforms and a wooden footbridge on the south edge of the golf course with no road access. Initially, two trains a day were timetabled in Bradshaw's Guide, but the station soon became excluded from timetables, presumably for private use. By 1941, the spelling had changed to Hollinwell. It closed on 10 September 1962.[2]

The station has been demolished and no traces remain.[2]
