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.[1]
