St Mary's Church, Beighton.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking down High Street. The large yellow banner on The Cumberland announces that it is 'Just a pub again!!!', now that the attempt to run it as a pub-cum-Chinese-takeaway has been abandoned.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The 12.25 HST from St Pancras to Sheffield passes Beighton on its diversionary route into Sheffield due to the 3 month upgrade of Bradway Tunnel on the normal route. Passenger trains are rare on this line.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking down High Street as it falls quite steeply from the area around the church into the bottom of the Rother Valley.

Dist:0.2km<br/>All Sheffield - Chesterfield trains are currently being diverted via Beighton and the Rother Valley line due to the 3 month upgrade of Bradway tunnel on the normal route. Here the 12.25 HST from St Pancras approaches Beighton. This is a welcome sight on this line.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This short unmade street provides a convenient cut through between the church and the High Street. It is also part of the Rother Valley Way.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Whilst stopped to take [[194459]], I thought I'd grab a closeup of some vegetation alongside the trail, simply because it looked nice against the harsh backdrop of the railway and other rubbish.

Dist:0.3km<br/>View southward, towards Chesterfield: ex-Midland Chesterfield - Rotherham main line. Out of sight to the right is the ex-GC Sheffield - Nottingham main line, which in the distance crosses over the Midland line, while off to the left would be visible the ex-Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast line to Langwith. The train is headed by LMS Fowler 4F 0-6-0 No. 44049 (built 1925, withdrawn 12/64). [I am open to correction here with regard to precise location].

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is the junction of the link between the former Great Central and the Midland Railways to the west of Rother Valley Park. This area was in times past a mess of railway lines.
