Spinkhill railway station
Spinkhill railway station is a disused railway station in Spinkhill, Derbyshire, England.

History
The station was built by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway on their Beighton Branch, within sight of the northern portal of Spinkhill Tunnel. It opened in 1898 and closed to regular timetabled passenger traffic in 1939, though start and end of term special trains for pupils at the nearby Mount St Mary's College continued for some years thereafter.

The line through the station was closed as a through route on 9 January 1967 but trains continued to serve the nearby Westthorpe Colliery until it closed in 1984. This involved using the former running lines and the sidings behind the station house.

Modern times
The humpback bridge over the trackbed between the station and the tunnel survives, as does the station house, which is now a private residence. The tunnel can still be discerned but is now overgrown. The track through the station site and tunnel was lifted after the closure of the line when the colliery closed.
