Can anyone identify these stations please?
 

These 3 photos were taken in the very early 1970s and show stations presumably closed in the Beeching era. I guess they're in the north Derbyshire area as I lived in Chesterfield at the time and I don't think they were far away. At the time I'd have made a note (or remembered) which stations they were but I can't remember now.

I'm pretty certain that the third photo is "Alfreton and South Normanton"
The second photo could possibly be "Codnor Park and Ironville"

first one is ilkeston victoria ,i was at the bottom of bath street,

rutland area

Can you see any of them among these:

Alternatively Wikimedia Commons has photos from the sixties to compare with.

I find disused stations/lines just so fascinating, great stuff

Thanks for the photos Ian. Looks as if you are well on the way to getting some ID.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

If they are still standing has anyone got recent photos to compare the 70's to now. That would be interesting. Thanks for posting Ian

Sorry, I'm unsure of the position of Ilkeston Victoria.

Hope this helps.

Would you tell us more about Ilkeston Victoria railway station.

I can't find any reference to it anywhere

Great to see this thread reopened thanks. The third picture is definitely Alfreton & South Normanton, as I was able to find some old pictures of it following Swisstrains' suggestion. I don't believe the second one is Codnor Park & Ironville after all as I visited the site last year and couldn't get any viewpoint which looked just like the old photo. I'm going to do a bit more research on nearby station sites when I'm next up there but in the meantime the mystery remains.
I've never heard of "Ilkeston Victoria" either. Can you tell us anything more please keiras? From the location you mention, was the station on the old line from Derby Friargate? There was a station on that line called just "Ilkeston" then later, to distinguish it from others in the town, I understand it was called Ilkeston North.
