a mile from Kilburn itself. It did not open until 1 December, three months after the line opened.
There was a single platform on the down side, adjacent to the level crossing over the Belper Road. On the other side was the large Station Hotel which still exists but is now a day nursery. Behind this was a brickworks, which is remembered by the name of Brickyard Lane, and nearby a glassworks. However, the main business was from the Kilburn Colliery to the north-east which was served by both north and south facing junctions.
In September 1887, the station was burgled. The station master's office was broken into but the money stored there had been removed the previous night. The robber ransacked the office but left without any gains. An 18 year old, John Walker from Chevin View, Belper was later arrested and admitted the offence. He was sent to prison for two months.
In the Grouping of all lines (into four main companies) in 1923, the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Passenger services finished in 1930, though the line remained open to Derby for coal traffic until the late twentieth century. Nothing is now left of the station or its tracks, which were demolished in 1965.
