Bulwell Hall Halt Railway Station
History
Bulwell Hall Halt was opened on 24 April 1909, some 10 years after the line itself - the Great Central Railway's London Extension through Nottingham. The halt had two platforms constructed of timber, and was located approximately 100 yard north of Lawton Drive, or half a mile north of the lengthy Bulwell Viaduct which spanned the Leen Valley.
The halt's main purpose was to serve Nottingham City Golf Course, however during World War I it was also used by troops. It did not appear in public timetables until 1911. Low patronage led to its closure on 5 May 1930; the line itself closed on 5 September 1966.
Present day
No trace of the halt remains today, however a footpath following the railway's trackbed through the site is extant.
