Kimberley East railway station
- Kimberley East railway station
Kimberley East railway station was a former railway station in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire. It was opened by the Great Northern Railway (Great Britain) on its Derbyshire Extension in 1875-6
It was on the second summit on the climb through Watnall Tunnel from Basford and Bulwell of what was a hilly line, crossing as it did, several river valleys. [Higginson, M., (1989) "The Friargate Line:Derby and the Great Northern Railway," Derby: Golden Pingle Publishing] . Passenger services finished in 1964 and the line finally closed in 1968.
The station buildings are now occupied by businesses, but the long cutting and tunnel towards Watnall have mostly been filled in and are covered by a housing estate. However, the area around the station area and the beginning of the cutting have been preserved as a heritage site and nature reserve.

Kimberley's other station was on a line from the Midland Railway's Erewash Valley Line to Nottingham. [http://www.systemed.plus.com/New_Adlestrop_Railway_Atlas.pdf]
