Roundabout on Fosse Way, Bingham

David Howard

Bingham Station: towards Nottingham

Bingham is a stop on the Grantham-Nottingham line. The station house dates from the opening of the line in 1850 and was designed by the celebrated Nottingham architect T C Hine. The platform waiting rooms were demolished many years ago and the station master's house, no longer in railway use, was adapted, though many of its original external features remain.

Bingham Station: towards Grantham

Bingham is a stop on the Nottingham-Grantham line. The modern footbridge replaces an elegant Victorian iron lattice type, which Nigel Thompson's SK7040 : Bingham railway station, Nottinghamshire, 1983 shows.

Bingham: former railway goods shed

No longer in railway use, this was once Bingham East goods shed, reached from the Down (Nottingham) line. Ben Brooksbank's SK7040 : Bingham Station (1963) shows the rail side of this shed, with a glimpse of the Station Road mill, next to it, which no longer exists. Bingham West goods shed was served by the Up (Grantham) line, with road access from Chapel Lane.

Bingham Station

Bingham Station, built by the Ambergate, Nottingham & Boston & Eastern Junction Railway (only the Nottingham-Grantham section was built) opened in 1850. The line became part of the Great Northern Railway 1861 and passed to the LNER at the 1923 Railway Grouping. The station buildings were designed by the celebrated Nottingham architect T C Hine. The platform buildings were demolished some time after the station became an unstaffed halt in the late 1960s and only the station house seen here remains, in adapted form but retaining a number of original features.

Bingham Women's Institute Hall

On Station Street, quite near the railway station. A model-railway event was taking place in the Hall on this Sunday afternoon in early August.

Bingham: a stinkpipe on Station Street

The sewer vent pipe on the left is the concrete-cased type found elsewhere in the county and the rest of the country. The Butter Cross public house is on the right and the railway station is at the far end of the street, in SK7040.
