Annesley railway station was a station in Annesley, Nottinghamshire, England. It was opened in 1874 to serve the mining village of Annesley, which had grown following the opening of Annesley colliery in 1865. It was closed in 1953 and the line closed to passengers in 1964. The station did not reopen as part of the Robin Hood Line project in the 1990s.

History

Opened by the Midland Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, which closed it five years later.
