A new indoor market – named Moor Market – was created in 2021 by internally joining adjacent small retail shops into a larger space. [9] [10] [11]

The last view is in Church Street, taken from just outside 'The Duke'. Manor Farm had already been demolished, which removed the tight blind bend by the Church, but the church car park had not yet been built, so the wall on the left of the church gate was still full height, enclosing the old rectory vegetable garden.The station was opened in 1917 by the Mansfield Railway along with Mansfield Central and Sutton-in-Ashfield Central. The line, including its stations, was worked by the Great Central Railway and became part of the LNER in 1923 and subsequently British Railways in 1948.

Most passenger services plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe [5] [6] and Ollerton. [7] The area is covered by BBC East Midlands and ITV Central which is received from the Waltham TV transmitter, [16] some areas of the town can also receive BBC Yorkshire and ITV Yorkshire from the Emley Moor TV transmitter. [17] This view was taken from a spoil heap above the Mill Pond looking towards the town. Behind the railway bridge over Mill Lane are the houses on Laburnum Avenue. The church, and houses on Pennine Drive are on the skyline.One big difference between then and now is the railways. Kirkby had three stations and the area where we used to roam as children was criss-crossed by railway lines. Most of that has gone. There's a single station on the Nottingham to Worksop line, though it ia on the former GNR alignment (the only line that didn't have a station originally) rather than the original MR alignment. The goods line to Pye Bridge also takes the same route through the town. Some of the disused formations are still visible but some have been bulldozed. Goods and timetabled passenger services ceased on 3 January 1956, though Summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe continued until 1962. The town rapidly expanded during the Victorian era. However the closure of the coal mines in the 1980s and early 1990s led to a major slump in the local economy, and the area then suffered a high level of socio-economic depression.

The now-closed Kirkby-in-Ashfield East railway station in 1963 Regeneration [ edit ] The last picture in this set is on the final part of the walk, crossing the bridge over the Central Railway towards Chapel Street. The shop on the right is at the bottom of Greenwood Drive and the shops on the left are just before Orchard Road (which in those days was unmade with potholes on the stretch before it bends right and had a tarmac surface). The number of hoardings is very noticeable – on the end of both shops and behind the bus stop (an area that had recently been cleared for use as a car park). The white road sign to the left of the banner is a school sign, and I think the dark stone cappings of the school gateposts are just visible beyond it.
