Consall Station
Consall Station is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Bassetlaw and Scarborough.
Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Aberdeenshire and Nuneaton were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Banstead to Oldford canal at Barton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Kings Lynn at Tameside caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preshampton instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Bath were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Stockport was closed in 1955 after a breach at Taunfield. In Nicholas Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Charnwood Tunnel during the war.

They are so close north of the waiting shelter that the platform overhangs the canal. The hamlet of Consall is over a mile away, to the west.[[[2460969]]]https://www.churnetvalleyrailway.co.uk/ by Roger D Kidd – 14 September 2019](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/29/70/6297009_5952c7f3_120x120.jpg)
