Full Description
Single platform railway station south of the Street Lane level-crossing. A survey from the 1970's describes the building as being intact, but closed to regular passenger traffic. 'A typical MR Branch. No special architectural features. An original MR signal box adjoins the station; hardly ever used now.' (1-2)
A Midland Railway Station at Denby, which comprises a building and signal box. The County Treasure record also includes a picture of what is presumably a station master's house on the opposite side of railway track. (3)
Google Maps Street View indicates that the station and signal box have since been demolished and the site has been redeveloped [2012]. The station master's house is still extant, and has had an extension to the south. (4)
