Description
EN
The area has had an extensive program of tree planting and grassing over but there are still plenty of relics of its former life.
There are now plans to redevelop the site into a country park, to reopen the railway line from Nottingham railway station and to reopen Gedling railway station which was closed on 4 April 1960 due to the Beeching Axe. The original station building is currently a youth hostel. The line itself officially closed in 1995 when the line to the colliery eventually was classed as redundant.
