Kirkby Bentinck railway station served the town of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England. It was on the Annesley branch of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, later the Great Central Railway on the section between Nottingham Victoria and Sheffield Victoria.[1] The station was opened in January 1893 and closed in March 1963 after 70 years in service.[2] Until 1 August 1925 it was named Kirkby & Pinxton station, and it appeared on Ordnance Survey maps as Kirkby & Bentinck station.
Nothing remains of Kirkby Bentinck station apart from two concrete poles that held the station sign and the station master's house on Church Hill. The site is now used for agriculture.
