Although our holiday was based in the Sheffield area there was plenty of time to explore beyond it, such as to Shireoaks in Nottinghamshire. It's a small station with two platforms connected by a level crossing. Arriving from the north the first thing you see is the level crossing, which connects the two platforms:

Immediately on the right is the signalbox, behind which a path leads to platform 2:

A building sits half way along platform 2:

Crossing the line at the level crossing we arrive at the entrance to platform 1:

On platform 1, these small walls form a collection of enclosures:

Just south of the station is this building, whose bargeboards make me think it was once connected with the railway:
