Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway

From Graces Guide

1863 Plans were drawn up to build a railway of 13.5 long from Chesterfield at Lockoford or Tapton Junction through Sheepbridge, along the Drone Valley, through the Bradway tunnel and Dore and Totley station site to Heeley and on into Sheffield.

Branch lines were proposed from Sheepbridge for the minerals of the Dunston and Barlow collieries, (Monkwood) and another one on the east side of the Drone Valley to Unstone and Dronfieid.

The line opened officially on February 1st 1870.
