An action group hoping to see a Gedling historical building returned to its former glory have launched a new website to support their campaign.
Gedling Village Preservation Society (GVPS) plan to raise money to regenerate the former Gedling Station building on Shearing Hill and transform it into an asset for the local community.
They also want Gedling Borough Council to list the site as a building of historical interest to help secure its future.
To help their crusade gain momentum, the group have set up a new website containing updates about the campaign on and also archive photos and stories detailing the history of the station.
The former station building dates back to 1875 and was used by passengers to board trains on the Great Northern Railway. It was closed back in 1960. After its closure the former station building was used to housed Gedling Youth Club from 1967 until 2012.
The volunteer group have also created a display at Carlton Library about the history of the station and will also be doing a talk in February.
People can view the display during the library opening hours.
The talk will take place on February 1 at 2pm and people can hear how the station operated train trips to the seaside and also was heavily involved in operations at Gedling Colliery.
