"Down The Tracks railway heritage exhibition opens at Chesterfield Museum

A group which explores old railway tracks in north-east Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire is launching an exhibition at Chesterfield Museum.

The exhibition, which opens on May 9, will feature the history of the three railway companies that came to Chesterfield and the stations that they built, in addition to the now demolished three-level Horns Bridge and the old Brampton branch, plus the associated industrial companies.

The Down The Track exhibition runs until July 18."

Talking of railways, I've never visited Cromford Train Station, looks a great place for a photo or too.
I'd love to get my own shot of the tunnel. Especially the light at the end of it  ;)
