Grindleford

Grindleford station was almost the day's last, which was probably for the best as in my explorings I tripped and spent much of the rest of the day limping. There are few nicer places to fall over, though. It's a little village station at the mouth of the Totley Tunnel, with a small road bridge crossing the tracks. Here's the entrance to the station with the bridge on the right:

To the right is the old station building which is now a cafe:

The station is "for the Longshaw Estate and Padley Gorge":
