__NOTOC__ Watnall railway station was a station serving the village of Watnall in Nottinghamshire, England. The station, which closed in 1917, was at the eastern end of the railway cutting used to provide the Midland Railway with a route through to Kimberley. The cutting still exists although it is heavily overgrown. Remnants of the platform can be found beneath the undergrowth but the buildings are no longer in existence. A bunker was built on this site for RAF Watnall during the Second World War and used as an operations centre for No. 12 Group RAF. The headquarters moved to RAF Newton in 1946 but the bunker remained in use for the duration of the ROTOR program and was mothballed in 1961. The bunker was used as a rifle range by the Awsworth - Kimberley and District Rifle Club. In May 2010 local police discovered a large cannabis factory inside the bunker. == See also == * Kimberley East railway station * Kimberley West railway station 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Watnall railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
