caption_attribution_description: English: Sherwood Station site Without the bridge in the background, there would be no clue to the fact that 60 years ago I would have been standing in the middle of a railway.
context_page_description: Sherwood railway station was a station on the former Great Northern Railway Nottingham Suburban railway in Nottingham. The station lies within Woodthorpe Grange Park in Woodthorpe.
  The NSR was built mainly for the brickworks of Mapperley and Thornywood, however, there were passenger services to Daybrook and Sherwood Station. In 1905, Parry sold the estate to Godfrey Small a Nottingham City Councillor. Meanwhile, the railway was struggling with the opening of the electric tram from Nottingham City Centre to Sherwood. In 1916 the regular passenger service was withdrawn and Sherwood Station closed.
  Woodthorpe Grange Park opened to the public in 1922. On 10 July 1928 King George V and Queen Mary visited the park and 17,000 school children travelled to the event on the NSR to Sherwood Station. An enthusiasts special ran on 16 June 1951 but goods train finished on 1 August 1951 when the line was abandoned. The track was lifted in 1954.
